USER-FRIENDLY DEATH

Dir: Marcin Koszałka

Year of Production: 2007
Country: Poland, 69 min

In this full-length documentary, Koszałka takes a look at the people who work at a funeral parlour at Kędzierzyn-Koźle and a body incineration centre in Czech Ostrava. The film shows what actually happens to human bodies after death, while highlighting the normalised, disaffected way in which the employees go about their morbid jobs. At the end of the day business is business, and clients need to be kept happy. It was nominated for the Best Central and Eastern European Documentary award at the Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival.
