Director
Sebastian Bobik

In a poignant and minimalist five-minute journey, director Sebastian Bobik crafts a haunting visual elegy. This documentary short transforms a stark, industrial landscape into a canvas for collective memory and loss. The film centers on the imposing, weathered structure of the Walbrzych Armored Brigade (W.A.B.) memorial in Poland, allowing the monument itself to become the silent protagonist. Through evocative cinematography, the camera explores the brutalist architecture, tracing the scars of time and neglect etched into its concrete form.

The central tension arises not from narrative conflict, but from the quiet, powerful dialogue between the monument's intended permanence and its inevitable decay. The film contemplates the fading of historical memory and the complex legacy such structures hold for a community. With a meditative and solemn tone, "W.A.B. - A Memorial" invites viewers to reflect on how we memorialize the past and what remains when the context fades, offering a universally resonant look at the ghosts of history made concrete.
