In the 2024 nominations prepared for film.interia.pl by Łukasz Maciejewski, ‘Under the Grey Sky’ received a mention for sound. What a delightful surprise. Thank you!!!
It is unusual in Polish film criticism for someone to write about sound and do so professionally!!! Thank you, Łukasz Maciejewski, for your sensitive analysis.
I also appreciate the artistic contribution of Joanna Napieralska, sounddesigner for Mary Tamkovich’s poignant debut, Under the Grey Sky.
In this intimate, quiet film, every whisper is important – the muffled cries of the oppressed and humiliated Belarusians who disagree with Lukashenko’s tyranny. And Napieralska hears those whispers and cries, perfectly setting them to rhythm. The soundscape in ‘Under The Grey Sky’ is music.
