Sokół

There is always love The Polish piece “Miłość zawsze jest” by Sokół transcends through language and time. A grounding yet inspirational experience, blending traditional and contemporary filmmaking methods. It is also our Music Video of the Week.

The following statement was issued by MOON Films:

“There is always love” – the powerful slogan marking the 79th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising.

Inspired by the August 1944 wedding of Alicja and Boleslaw Bieg, this poignant film unfolds in a single shot, capturing a day in Warsaw backyard during Warsaw Uprising. As the camera meanders among the residents, we witness a heartwarming wedding scene, while in the distance, enemy planes serve as a haunting reminder about war.

In this emotional moment, love and death merge. The message’s power is intensified by hip-hop track by @wojteksokol

Whether or not one is familiar with the historic event depicted in the film, the message is truly timeless. We are able to submerge into the essence of it as the result of the artistry by the people behind the scenes: Director Tadeusz Śliwa; DOP Michal Dabal; Film editor Robert Gryka and the post production crew at RIOdePost, only to mention a few.
