Guillaume Kozakiewiez
Born in 1979, Guillaume Kozakiewiez grew up in eastern France. His studies took him to Brittany, where he has lived ever since. Passionate about images, he first taught himself editing, then photography, before training in documentary filmmaking. A filmmaker, traveller, curious and somewhat solitary, Kozakiewiez uses a lightweight video camera as his preferred tool for telling stories from different continents. Portraiture is his favoured form, leading to feature-length documentaries, including one about his Polish great-great-aunt, Léonarda. Today, fiction also plays a role in his work, while portraiture remains rooted in storytelling. His first short film, Je les aime tous (I Love Them All), was preselected for the 2018 César Awards after being selected at festivals in Clermont-Ferrand, Thessaloniki, Lille, Villeurbanne, and elsewhere. He also works as a director of photography on both documentary and fiction films.

While small living beings try to express their fragility in the face of intrusive exploration, what anxieties do humans experience?
