Year of Production: 2010
Country: Poland, 29 min

In this documentary Koszałka looks into the life of one of Poland’s most renowned mountain climbers ‘Mad’ Piotr Korczak. The interviews take place around the time the great mountaineer is coming towards the end of his career, painting a portrait of a man of ever-strong spirit, and yet a naturally ageing body. It’s about the quest for immortality, and coming to terms with the fact that it can never really be achieved. The short documentary won several awards including the Silver Hugo at the Chicago International Film Festival.
