ICE HOCKEY

POLISH TITLE: HOKEJ

‘I am not interested in the films that take the perspective of a spectator on the stand’, says Dziworski. In this documentary, the entire team had to take his words seriously (even the producer had to put skates on!). Many successful scenes were filmed from the perspective of a hockey puck, just above the surface of the ice rink. What amplifies the message of the film is the presence of young hockey players who are just learning the secrets of this male sport.
