Puzzle Doc (Portrait of the Language in an Online Era)

The viewer of "Puzzle Doc" is put in a situation well known to him from everyday life: the frame of the film corresponds to a computer screen on which new novellas, created in various poetics appear. The report is adjacent to the crime story noir, and the television programme is preceded by a trailer of a computer game. The form of Mariusz Koryciński's film is its content at the same time: for the creators of this docudrama, popular culture can be a space for communication. "Puzzle Doc" is an invitation to modern Neverland, populated with paper-celluloid characters. If the viewers use it, they will become the co-creators of the film, arranging a puzzle of different genres, thoughts and emotions.

We all use it, but we don't always think about its form. Meanwhile, the language offers unlimited possibilities, especially in the online era. Because language is not only speech, but also art... Especially when art speaks with its own language.
