Filmmaker Michal Toczek has been busy - four of his films currently appear on T-Port, each with intersecting themes and ideas, and two featuring the same well known Polish comic actor - Sebastian Stankiewicz - in dramatic roles. In this interview, we chat to Toczek, whose work appears on T-Port courtesy of our partners at the Polish National Film and Television School in Lodz Lodz Film School (PWSFTviT), about shooting during lockdown, what it means to collaborate with other artists, and what he gained from the film school experience. Check out the full interview on the T-Blog. https://lnkd.in/d4fqJKn8
