ABOUT ME

movie-eater, culture-diver and some kind of researcher, writing and reading creature :) Recently I published a book describing retro and vintage trends in contemporary culture and return of the past: http://www.beczmiana.pl/produkcje,1181,widmontologia.html

In this moment I write a book about Greek "New Wave" (contemporary Greek cinematography)
