Joanna is currently carrying out a PhD in the Department of Performance Studies at the Jagiellonian University in Poland. Her research is concerned with media, art and social representations of the urban space of Sarajevo of the last 30 years. She has worked as a project manager on couple of projects for Play Poland Film Festival in Scotland and Sarajevo War Theatre in Bosnia and Herzegovina. She is an author and producer of interdisciplinary project Sarajevo Mind Map. Joanna is interested in performativity of urban space and researching urban space through different art mediums.
I see a film as a method of communication with people. It is a window, an eye, that enables the public to enter into my inner world. On the other hand, documentary film in particular gives me, as a beginning director, a priceless opportunity to submerge in the intimate space of other people's emotions, experience, opinions. Observing and recording their gestures, feelings, places, sounds I can intermediate them using different art mediums (such as dance, music, etc.) and transform into the unique cinematic picture, where simple things may become a powerful symbols of human experience in general. Therefore, the film, has a capacity to emphasise the uniqueness of every human being, seemingly ordinary places or everyday habits. And I find it very important, especially in our times, because it teaches us to stay open and sensitive to one another in the world dominated by technology and money. Overall then, I perceive the film as a stimulating space where I can endlessly explore and analyse the world around as well as myself in a creative way.
