Findling Award 2015: Niewidzialne

Niewidzialne - Invisible is the name of the documentary film, debut of Zofia Pręgowska.
We meet the film's protagonist, Mrs Krystyna, in her tiny flat filled with books, notepads, written-on pieces of paper. She is often visited by a secretary, who helps her writing down poetry that has been springing up every day for many years. Now Mrs Krystyna is the whirl of preparations for another presentation of her work. The organisational details of this endeavour are as important as the poems, since Mrs Krystyna is blind. Dependent on others' assistance when it comes to contact with the outside world, she is both vigorous and dedicated to her passion.
