The Way
„The Way” presents the meeting of jazzmen from the USA, Brazil and Poland, who not sharing common language can communicate only through collective performances. Black and White, grainy pictures as well as music show emotions and feelings that cannot be verbalised. Jazz variations are edited with a mute shots. Emotional portraits and interesting pictures are set next to black pauses. The film’s polyphony enables the spectator to feel the contact with the film through keen senses and to make a sound and picture journey.
