Summer Love
May 2007, 8:00pm
Summer Love is my debut film. It is the first Polish Western. It was filmed on location in southern Poland with a Polish cast. The film is neither a parody, nor homage; it does not attempt to resuscitate the supposedly dead genre of the Western. Arguably, Summer Love is not a Western, but an allegorical film that uses the language of a Western. It exploits cinema’s most codified genre to address issues of ethnic identity and cultural authenticity.

“Welcome to the 2007 High Desert Test Sites. This year we have gone leaner and meaner, a call back to the early days when a bottle of beer and a smile brought you untold art moment wonders in the high desert.”
