Świebodzki

Pedro Ferreira
Poland, Portugal 2013 / 12’

A Portuguese artist who has been associated with Wrocław for several years takes his camera into one of the most enigmatic parts of the city. Świebodzki Palace, once an object of local pride, now looks like something out of the delirious visions of Sergei Loznitsa. In this impressive documentary, Pedro Fereira manages, however, to see the different faces of Świebodzki. Once a week, with the arrival of traders, the area around the palace becomes a carnival of consumption.
