🟠 ABOUT THE FILM
Korzeń and All the Rest (2025),
16 min.
directed by Kasia Mateja
This documentary tells the story of Michał, a gay man from Poland, and the community that surrounds him. Through his journey, the film explores themes of emigration, friendship, love, and identity, as well as the complex reality of life as a queer person from Central Europe living in Norway — capturing both the challenges and the beauty of that experience.

🟠 ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The We Do Festival of Polish Contemporary Arts & Culture returns for its 7th edition this October, bringing five days of inspiring workshops, live performances, concerts, and film screenings. Celebrated as one of the most vibrant Polish cultural festivals abroad, We Do showcases contemporary art that is bold, inclusive, and international in spirit.
The festival expresses Polish culture that is open, inclusive, and diverse. It aims to reach an international audience, creating space for shared experiences and dialogue across cultures and borders.
This year’s theme, Turning Point, highlights the festival as a space of change, dialogue, and transformation. More than an event, it is an invitation to experience Polish creativity at its most dynamic — where tradition meets experiment, and where audiences and artists together spark new ideas.
👋🏽 Join us to celebrate strength, creativity, and cross-cultural dialogue, discovering how craftivism — art as activism — can forge new pathways of expression.
