Kredens
/ Kredens (orig.)
Jacob Dammas / Poland, Denmark / 26 min
Kredens is a very personal film on the mysterious Polish “March of 1968”, a time that until today evokes a lot of controversy inside Poland while it is largely unheard of outside.
In the late 1960’s, four strong men from a local bar in Wroclaw in southwest Poland carried a 150 kg heavy German-made credenza from one side of the Zgodna street to the other. Against the will of his mother, the filmmaker and son sets out to find the vanished piece of furniture in the place his family escaped 40 years ago, and finds a new perspective on the emigration. In sensitive and tragicomical observations, shot mise-en-scène in one building, this wild goose chase can also be seen as a social experiment about how much we are an oblivious product of history.
