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 audience is young people, our work speaks across generations — through documentaries, animations, fiction, and hybrid forms.

We are based in Warsaw, but our perspective reaches beyond borders. Each project is a response to memory: how it’s shaped, how it survives, and how it asks to be heard in today’s world. For us, making films about Jewish life in Poland is not only a way to preserve cultural memory, but also a way to understand the psychological and social patterns that continue to shape collective life — especially those related to exclusion, identity, and belonging.

What You’ll Find Here

This new section of our website will serve as a space for sharing ongoing work. Every month, we’ll post updates about our current film projects — including works in development, pilot shoots, behind-the-scenes photos, and reflections from the field. At times, we may also publish essays or thought pieces that speak to the wider themes of our work.

Whether a project is still a quiet idea or already in production, we want to keep you close to the process — not just the results. Transparency, dialogue, and emotional honesty are values that shape both our films and the way we communicate about them.

Why Your Voice Matters

This journal is not a monologue. It’s a conversation. We deeply value feedback, thoughts, and even simple responses to what we share. If something moves you, unsettles you, or prompts a question — write to us. Our hope is to build not only an archive of work, but a community of listeners and witnesses who care about the same things we do.

So whether you’re a researcher, a teacher, someone with family stories of your own, or simply a curious viewer — we invite you to walk with us. Memory is a shared terrain, and these stories are always stronger when carried together.
