“Berlin Diaries is a journal. It is a journal documenting a struggle with own weakness and despair, after losing the closest person, and a journal that documents an ephemeral romance. This journal was filmed as a way for me to survive a very hard winter of my life. The journal is comprised of conversations, shreds of situations, landscapes being passed by, pictures of nature and city, all of which I try to connect with memories and reflections on my own condition. It is a record of my own fall and efforts to understand myself and the nature of the medium I use to try and communicate with the world. If we consider this journal to be a film, then it is an extremely personal and existential one; a story about an artist, who struggles to liberate himself from the limits of film form, and looks for the meaning of life and art. It is a story about coming back to an empty family home and trying to overcome one's own personal crisis. It is a story about the fragility of life, love, and loss, told in a poetic context of a love story.” — Przemysław Wojcieszek
