Patho Film, Wolfelsgrund
Adam Sikora's new cinematic experiment is a kind of introspective journey of the protagonist/narrator to the titular Wolfelsgrund, that is the village of Międzygórze in the Kłodzko Land. The main character, also referred to as Figure, confronts the place and takes a look at his inner landscape, which turns out to be a landscape of ruins. The film is also a kind of game, as the relationship between the narrator and Figure is undefined. The questions remain unanswered: Who sees? Who is seen? Who speaks? Who is spoken?
