Marnotrawne ojcostwo, marnotrawne synostwo i granat w piwnicy uczuć
Prodigal Fatherhood, Prodigal Sonship and the Grenade in the Cellar of Emotions

Summary/Abstract: In 2013, prominent Polish documentary filmmakers, Marcel and Paweł Łoziński, father and son, decided to implement a joint film project, that was to be a report from a journey from Warsaw to Paris. The expedition was also supposed to have a therapeutic significance, to help to clarify misunderstandings and to repair their mutual relations. The idea was not entirely successful. The joint project was not realized, and instead, based on the same photographic material, two independent films were created: Father and Son by Paweł Łoziński, “Father and Son on the Journey” by Marcel Łoziński. The author defines these films as examples of personal documentary and first person documentary, and places them in a broader context – on the line of the relationship between father and son – post-memory referring to the history of the family and its Jewish roots and dilemmas resulting from father and son practising the same profession.
