Amatorzy. Tylko muzyka/Amateurs. Only Music
dir. Monika Grzybowska, 2024, 23 min
When she was 16, Agata heard that she would most likely bleed herself to death within 2 years. A hemangioma, a tumor located in the left half of her face, causing severe bleeding from her mouth, nose and eyes was the reason for this prognosis. On that day, Agata was born anew. After 20 years and over 30 face surgeries, she lives in London and works as an artist who turned her struggle with a lethal disease into art.
