I’M PAINTING A SELF-PORTRAIT, BUT ALL I SEE IS MY SISTER’S FACE
POLISH TITLE: MALUJĘ SWÓJ AUTOPORTRET, A WYCHODZI MI MOJA SIOSTRA
An animated short documentary about Alicja and Bożena Wahl, identical twin sisters and visual artists. Based on excerpts selected from over 450 diaries kept by Alicja for nearly 50 years and the artistic work of both sisters, the film explores sisterhood, shared creation and a bond that shaped their private and artistic lives. Alicja’s diaries – an intimate, ongoing dialogue with Bożena – open a window to their world. Blending documentary perspective and animation, the film gives voice to artists whose legacy deserves to be remembered.
