Who is Maciej Michalski?

Maciej Michalski is a Polish Film Director, popularly known for creating video clips for the Polish singer Justyna Steczkowska.

Maciej Michalski’s latest motion pictures a tale of three women who are his close friends. As he shows them interacting, he plunges into a world of emotion, magic, mysterious plants and exquisite candle-lit interiors.

Michalski has searched old buildings, palaces and gardens looking for proper images to serve for his location shots. The interest comes naturally as he himself lives in a magical place near Konin. His entire childhood was filled with his grandmother’s and mother’s vivid storytelling, music and art. One of his grandfathers played the accordion, the other was a painter.

Michalski plays the violin and piano. His home, rife with fine objects, is surrounded by an old park, ruins of a palace, a pond and willows.

The SCANDA movie soundtrack is a gift from Justyna Steczkowska. She described it as pieces of music jotted down on a D perfume box. The movie’s imagery unfolds to the sound of “Bulrush Will Rock Us To Sleep”, interspersed with sound of crickets … Not a single word is spoken throughout the film. Its only verbal message is an inscription on the back of one of the women.
