Jacek Borcuch’s film path is showing his own, everlasting search, rooted simply in human existence. First was acting, a certain experience replaced by philosophy - a space devoted to widening perception, understanding and experimenting faculties. Music is present from his early childhood (piano) - from classical education at the beginning to highly contemporary sounds sometime later. Direction, the following step, was a logical consequence of the previous paths. This is the area that enables him to encompass all his strengths, all kinds of arts he mastered. It’s the opportunity to tell his own story and at the same time introduce it to a wider audiences, into so called impartial ground - this is something that engages him most.
