The Sowing

"The Sowing" tells the story of one of the oldest continuously operating garden farms in Warsaw. It is also a film about a multi-generational family that owns this farm. We observe the lives of the family members and their work. From a modern perspective, the events in the film seem to unfold somewhat slowly, and the farm itself resembles a fairy-tale enclave. Beneath this charming and unhurried layer, we seek answers to many questions, including whether it is enjoyable to be a gardener today and whether it was enjoyable to be one many years ago.

Director Statement

"The Sowing" was shot as fully indie production, with zero budget. Mostly by one person - myself - and with help of some film industry friends (additional cinematography, editing, music). I believe in cinematic approach to documentaries and I hope we've been able to achieve such an example here. I wish you a peaceful and enjoyable time with the movie.
