Polish Cultural Days in Greifswald

Filmmaker Arjun Talwar takes a very personal look at his street in Warsaw and its inhabitants.

Having lived in Poland for over ten years, he still feels like a stranger. By filming his neighbors, he hopes to become part of their world. Together with his girlfriend Mo, also a migrant and filmmaker, he discovers hidden stories and similarities.

The street becomes a symbol of a Europe between tradition and modernity, home and alienation. With humor and melancholy, Talwar portrays a country that is often still considered hostile and holds a mirror up to it.

Arjun Talwar grew up in Delhi. He studied mathematics before joining the camera department of the Polish Film School in Lodz. His short films have been shown at festivals such as Visions du Reel, Big Sky, FID Marseille and Tampere. Arjun's first feature documentary "Der Ensel hieß Geronimo" premiered at DOK Leipzig.
His work focuses on the themes of home and belonging.
