Such Feeling: an encounter with Alex Baczyński-Jenkins
Rencontre
Lafayette Anticipations9 rue du Platre 75004 PARIS Parisian premiere of Such Feeling, a feature film by Alex Baczyński-Jenkins, followed by an exchange with the artist.
Alex BaczyÅ„ski-Jenkins’s first feature-length film, Such Feeling, originated as a prologue to his choreographic exhibition of the same title at Kunsthalle Basel in 2019. The film was expanded and re-edited with each new exhibition presentation, as a processual cine-performance, eventually transforming and premiering as a feature film in 2024.
Such Feeling is a poetic and political documentary that follows a group of friends, Aaa, Billy, Dawid, Filipka, and Olo, in Warsaw who perform, protest and support each other amidst social transformation in a hostile state. This is a poetic account of everyday queer life, friendship, intimacy, and resistance in Poland in the years 2019–2024.
“The most important contemporary documentary on queer Warsaw. An honest portrait of a group of friends, which became a generational manifesto.” – WatchDocs Film Festival, 2024
