Track portrait
Three members hold the camera. Two bodies cross the foreground at speed.
Director's treatment / Warsaw 2026
A 75-second film / Sunday, 10:00
The weekly
return.
We meet the city at the pace of a conversation.
01 / Human truth
A community forms through repetition: the same morning, familiar faces, unfinished conversations picked up mid-stride.
Run & More gives Warsaw's creative community a weekly rhythm. People arrive carrying different lives, move at a shared pace, then stay for coffee, breakfast and everything the morning becomes.
Running creates the appointment. Showing up creates the bond.
02 / Creative platform
The idea
The Weekly
Return
Identity field — rhythm, signal, repetition
Regularity turns a meeting point into a place of belonging.
The club lives in the gesture of returning — to the same people, the same streets and a conversation that keeps moving.
As we arrivewe become visible.
As we movewe make room.
As we breathewe listen.
As we returnwe become familiar.
As we staywe become friends.
Every weekthe distance between us changes.

Director's treatment / 75 seconds / five members
A morning with
room to breathe.
Film premise
Five people, one Sunday morning. The run becomes a way into their relationship with the city — and with one another.

Five selected members / story beats
Before the start
Laces, layers, a short exchange. Details establish closeness without explanation.
Side by side
The group moves as a loose unit. Camera stays close enough to catch conversation.
The crossing
A light changes. Someone waits. The frame gathers the group back together.
After the run
The social part remains in the film: coffee, breakfast, and the day continuing.
Film structure
Roll call
Five members wait on the track. The lens meets their faces while runners cut through the frame. Stillness and motion occupy the same image.
Preparation
Laces, sleeves, a coffee passed between hands. Small gestures establish the group before a single step is taken.
Shared pace
The five move through Warsaw in a loose formation. Conversation moves between breaths. A faster runner returns to the group.
Crossing
Bodies pass close to lens. At a light, the group waits together. The camera stays inside the rhythm rather than ahead of it.
After the run
The pace settles at the table. Coffee lands, chairs move closer and the morning opens into the rest of the day.
04 / Voiceover
Sunday, ten o'clock. Five people make their way to the track.
We arrive with the week still on us: work, messages, ideas, the things we have not had time to say.
There is coffee in one hand. A lace comes undone. Someone asks how you are, then waits for the real answer.
We begin to run. The city moves around us, and the conversation keeps its place.
Some of us are faster. Someone always comes back. At the crossing, we wait. Then we carry on together.
By the time we stop, the morning has changed shape.
Coffee. Breakfast. Another story. One more chair at the table.
Run & More.
Sunday, 10:00.
05 / Visual references
Stillness.
Then motion.
References selected from the project folder. They define the film language: one held image inside a moving field, an editorial sense of framing, and red used as a controlled signal.
Hold one person or small group in a static frame while other runners cut through it.
Faces remain direct; the graphic layer stays light and exact.
Grain, close material detail, and red motion held against black.
CameraStatic portraits, low track angles, hand-held running shots, and close fragments of hands, shoes, breath and fabric.
EditingQuick crossings give way to held eye contact. The cut follows conversation and breath, rather than performance metrics.
ColourGraphite, cold morning light and paper white. Red appears only as a signal in the image and in the graphic system.
06 / Sound direction
Entry sound
Breath becomes
the measure.
Open the field
A sound world for the weekly returnFabric, footsteps, breath, traffic lights, small laughs, an espresso machine. Music enters slowly and leaves enough space for the group to sound alive.
08 / Identity principles
Raw image.
Exact system.
A disciplined framework gives every photograph, sentence and invitation the energy of a performance poster and the intimacy of a field note.

Light grotesk
Thin contemporary typography creates clarity, air and an editorial sense of movement.
Physical grain
Blur, sweat and hard contrast keep the image close to the body.
Signal red
One urgent colour marks instructions, rhythm and points of return.
Measured motion
Rules, coordinates and live data create a precise graphic tempo.
07 / Editorial system
Six formats.
One living archive.
The film opens the world. Recurring series give it continuity, recognition and enough range to hold sport, style, work, food and friendship.
Roll Call
An arrival portrait made before the run. One member, one look, one small detail that makes them memorable.
Mina / architect / Tehran → Warsaw / always early / never warmed up.
Between Breaths
Fragments of real conversations recorded in motion. City sound and breath stay inside the edit.
“What are you making this week?” “Hopefully, some time.”
Same City, Many Homes
Short profiles connecting a member’s first home, their life in Warsaw and the route they return to.
One Warsaw morning, carried in twelve different accents.
The Long Table
Breakfast, coffee and the social life of Rugs & More photographed with the same care as the run.
Run 07:46. First coffee 09:03. Last chair left 11:18.
Off Route
Padel, exhibitions, studio visits, dinners and the places where the group meets during the week.
Thursday night. Four paddles, one borrowed shirt, no clean scorekeeping.
Next Week
A clear invitation carried by one image, one time and the confidence of an established ritual.
Same corner. New conversation. Details at 08:00.
