• Antidotum10'

  The film “Antidotum” uses the convention of a fairy tale both in the dramatic and visual layer. It was inspired by Clarissa Pinkoli Estés’ book “Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype” and by the film author’s personal experiences. The style of the video results from the need to infantilise difficult experiences, which is often the only way in which they can be told. Karolina Brzozowska is also the author of the script, editing, set design and post-production.
