Apolonia, Apolonia

Becoming an artist in a man’s world.

A captivating portrait from director Glob of a young woman’s journey into the art world. Apolonia Sokol’s life seemed to be taken straight out of a storybook when the filmmaker first met her in 2009, but as the years go by, the challenges she faces as a woman painter become more apparent. As Apolonia navigates the art world and grapples with issues of womanhood, relationships, and creation, the bond between her and Glob deepens. This mesmerizing film is a reflection on art, love, motherhood, sexuality, and representation, showcasing how women can succeed in a world dominated by patriarchy, capitalism, and war while staying true to themselves.
