Education Never Ends
In recent weeks, Poland has once again heard public statements — from the very top of politics — questioning the very existence of the Holocaust. Auschwitz survivor Marian Turski once warned: Auschwitz is creeping toward us. First, we grow used to such words. Some even defend them. Then, step by step, we grow indifferent to…

Rap as Memory Work: Reimagining Holocaust Education Through Beat
When we first started developing our short educational mini-series called In Hiding, dedicated to youth aged 15–18 years old, we knew we were stepping into risky territory.

In Search of a Story: Pilot Shoot Reflections from Eastern Poland
In mid-June 2025, we embarked on a four-day journey through Podlasie — a region dense with echoes, questions, and unspoken layers of family history. It was the beginning of something, not yet a film.

Meeting Carmel and Our New Film Project
This January, Łukasz had the pleasure of meeting the incredible Carmel Tanaka — a gifted and empathetic queer, neurodivergent, “Jewpanese” (Jewish and Japanese) young woman from Canada. Carmel’s family story carries the weight of history: she has felt the generational impact of both the Holocaust and the Japanese internment camps in Canada.

Films for the Warsaw Ghetto Museum –
A Contemporary Approach to History

Introducing Our Monthly Project Journal
At Mówmi Studio, we believe that some of the most important stories begin in silence — in what has been overlooked, forgotten, or passed over too quickly. Our films focus on Jewish history and heritage, particularly the Holocaust, and seek to create meaningful ways of engaging with the past through artistic storytelling. Though our primary…
