“Lot of Michelangelo Antonioni., it was one of my favorite of his film actually and I remember watching it on the screen on the big screen last time in '90s again in San Francisco Cinema Tech and he was visiting that, he was there and he was sitting in the back of the screening room and I was like passing next to him and he was watching his films and he was crying. So that image will stay with me. So La notte.”

“Parasite, I think I don't have the video. Very revolutionary film. I think it tells about the modern world, about the contemporary world, something extremely disturbing and very, very true. So I would like that film to stay with me as also as a reminder who we are.”

“Very recent films, Perfect Days by Wim Wenders, which I have to say I missed in the theaters and I wanted to see it in the theater and I missed it, so I will screen it in my private theater.”

“And Anatomy of a Fall, which was one of the most surprising movies and again the great example of women director's point of view. And we have more and more like powerful and very outspoken women directors and that is good.”

“My last pick will be about the film which I'm rewatching practically any time I'm preparing the film and especially I did it on the Green Border, and that is Diamonds of the Night by Jan Němec, one of the auteurs of the absolutely wonderful Czech New Wave... It is an absolute masterpiece but also it has incredibly long shot when two young men, two boys who escaped from the transportation to the concentration camp, they are running through the forest.”

“I will pick it will be the Box very heavy one of Agnès Varda. Two films of her which I was watching as a teenager in Warsaw made such an impact on me that I can say that it's also because of her that I became a filmmaker. One it was Cléo from 5 to 7, but second one was the revelation to me and till now I'm advising it to the young filmmakers and especially women filmmakers to watch... That is Le Bonheur. It's my favorite. I hope that I'm Following her path.”
