Stanisław Sowiński (b. 1990) is a Polish-based independent film director, screenwriter and producer. He worked on several film productions as "Skuwka" by Roman Statsenka (2014, Poland, directing support), "Dernière soirée" by Vassia Chavaroche (2018, France, sound recordings and directing/DoP support) and self-produced "The Passenger" (2019, Poland).
The film is deeply based on Franz Kafka’s life and art. It rethinks his life-long inability of getting in a closer contact with people surrounding him in a poetic form assuming the life is a journey.
