"The new film of Anna Okrasko, a visual artist, author of videos, performances, installations, and collages, was made entirely during her stay in Poland, the first longer stay in years. Through the eye of a transient visitor in a place which she was once a part of, Okrasko looks at the current political intensification, devoting particular attention to how religious behaviour manifests itself in public spaces. next to you I remember, I am regards the problematic belonging to a community that she views as oppressive. Nevertheless the video is an attempt to create a contact zone with those who are praying through an intimate, subjective experience."
