The film 'Maya Gordon goes to
Chorzow' is the story of the strange relationship connecting two women,
Maya Gordon and Joanna Rajkowska. Maya Gordon decides to return to Poland
and make the trip to her birthplace - to Silesia, to Chorzow and then
to the town of her early childhood - to Gliwice. It's the first trip to
Silesia since her emmigration in 1957 and also a return, which may help
her finally make the decision about living in Poland for longer. For the
film, Maya rented an apartment in Warsaw and stayed in Poland for several
months. It's a very important narrative thread - Maya returns, to make
a film about herself - about her own return. |
