Simona Kossak (1943-2007) Polish biologist, ecologist, author, PhD in forestry, and uncompromising conservation activist. They called her a witch, because she chatted with animals and owned a terrorist-crow, who stole gold and attacked bicycle riders. She spent more than 30 years in a wooden hut in the Białowieża Forest, without electricity or access to running water. A lynx slept in her bed, and a tamed boar lived under the same roof with her. She was also an activist who fought for the protection of Europe’s oldest forest. Simona believed that one ought to live simply, and close to nature. Among animals she found that which she never found with humans.

¿Cómo puedes decir que no me conoces? Yo te hablé al entrar al cuarto oscuro donde parodiaste el amor con mi amado. Yo te vi esmerándote escribir “gimo” al leer las palabras “te follo, cochinita”. Has huido a tu cueva en lo alto de la soberbia. Pero tú me conoces, sientes en tus vísceras el vínculo que has roto sólo porque tú no puedes construir nada. Te has dirigido a mí, aunque evadiendo mi persona. No soy ningún ser anónimo para ti.
¿Te parece vulgar mi desesperación? El ardor es un hombre viejo, enfermo, demolido, pero aun así no se le puede negar la condición de homo faber, que es lo que somos. Cada vez le tiemblan más las manos. Los médicos dicen que la medicación que toma se relaciona con la aparición temprana de las enfermedades neurodegenerativas. ¿Tú le cuidarás después de haber derrumbado su hogar? Tú y las o los demás. Sí, te nombro en género desconocido y en plural, porque después de presenciar las limitaciones de tu erotismo dudo que seas una mujer, y porque aquí hay hordas de desechos de lo humano como tú. Os parecéis a las lombrices en su afanoso arrastre entre sus propias heces para poder frotarse un poco más. Algunas piden regalos, otras se conforman con mantener vivo el vicio.
¿Te parece vulgar el llanto de los que sufrimos este engaño? ¿Acaso tampoco te acuerdas que la traición es el último infierno que puede levantar y dónde puede caer el ser humano? ¿Acaso es verdad lo primero que vi en ti: aterrador vacío del valor cualquiera?

do you want to tell us stuff about jakub gierszal's upcoming projects?
hi anon! 💗 are you THAT anon? 👀 of course i’m gonna tell you about them! (I mean at least what I know, this is gonna be a long answer, i’m not even sorry 😂💗)
so the first one that is coming out soon in February: Ultima Thule, it tells the story of young man, Bartek (Kuba’s in main role), who decides to embark on a lonely journey to the most isolated british island to fights off his internal demons. It is directed and written by Klaudiusz Chrostowski and the movie won the award at Polish Film Festival in Gdynia. Kuba even was the producer of this project and I’m so freaking proud of him even tho I haven’t seen this film yet. The whole thing was done by four people (including Kuba) and it’s actually insane and I love it.
another film of his, which sounds interesting is Biała Odwaga (dir. Maciej Koszałka), the title is not translated, I’d say it would be White Bravery???), it already seems to be controversial topic among critics because it pictures the story of a family - two Highlander brothers and their attitude towards Nazis during the war (some Highlanders were rumoured to conspire and cooperate with Nazis, and honestly it’s a really sensitive topic regarding polish history, Kuba said it’s a really interesting and well-written screenplay besides the historic background). Kuba plays there Wolfram von Kamitz (well, he has the looks for it, am I right?).
Simona Kossak (dir. Adrian Panek), another upcoming project (man’s booked and busy!) is about titled character, Simona. She is real life person from 70s, nature and animal lover, scientist and ecologist. Kuba plays her husband, Lech Wilczek, life-long partner and supporter.
The title I’m really excited about is Kolory Zła. Czerwień (Again, not translated but I’d say: Shades/Colours of The Evil. Red, and again dir. by Adrian Panek). It’s a book adaptation under the same title. It’s a crime story where, a Tri-City beach becomes a place of dramatic discovery when the sea washes up the body of a young girl. Kuba plays detective Leopold Bilski, main character. I love crime stories so it’s going to be exciting. It will be out on Netflix btw! ✨
Are you keeping up? Cause I’m not done yet! 🤭
He is working on the another project with Klaudiusz Chrostowski, hasn’t officially announced and named yet. Kuba himself said that it will be about depressive vampire who only can be cured through love 🥹💗🤫 (Here’s the pic shared by Mr Chrostowski, Kuba looks so cute with vampire teeth! 🧛♂️)
And finally, just recently there were released some stills from the project titled Podchody (Stealing Up, but still it’s translation for non-polish folks 😄) by Maciej Puczyński. Again, it hasn’t been announced yet or anything. It will be about a toxic family system where mother, three siblings and their partners confront with their lives and its unfulfillment.
Aaaaaand I think, that’s it for now, I will keep you updated if I know anything of course! 🫡💗 Thank you for this ask 🥹✨ I know Kuba did his best in each of these and I can’t wait for them! They all are said to come out this year, the man is crazy! 🤭💚 This year or following one, close enough!
