Filip Skrońc

I work across film, photography, and writing. From observation to final form. I spent years producing commercial films and photographic projects. Learning how structure, rhythm, and precision shape meaning.

I have directed documentary films for NGOs around the world, working in Senegal, Iraq, eastern Ukraine, Somalia, and Poland. Alongside this work, I direct commercial campaigns and documentary-led projects for brands such as IKEA, Visa, Google, Adidas, Porsche, and Levi’s, and have collaborated with Netflix and Canal+. I have also worked on internationally awarded feature films produced by MUBI and A24, creating short-form documentary pieces and EPK materials.

I direct, shoot & write.

My background spans independent documentary work and large-scale commercial production.

Based in Warsaw. Working worldwide.

If I had to define what I do, the closest description would probably be Commercial Documentarian.

My work often blends different forms of storytelling: reportage, observational documentary and editorial narrative shaped through image and presence. I am particularly interested in environments where social, political and cultural layers intersect, and where long-form observation and close collaboration with people involved in the story become essential.

Over the years I have directed documentary projects for NGOs in Senegal, Iraq, eastern Ukraine, Somalia and Poland, and developed documentary-driven films and campaigns for brands including IKEA, Visa, Google, Adidas and Porsche. I have also collaborated with Netflix and Canal+, and worked on internationally awarded feature film productions produced by MUBI and A24, creating short documentary works and EPK materials within larger cinematic contexts.

I am a documentalist of the whole.

I use different tools to tell one story the right way.

I have hosted and curated a radio programme dedicated to documentary film, centred on conversations about form, ethics, and the ways nonfiction stories are told.

As a writer, I am interested in long-form observation and reported nonfiction, and in how writing, image, and lived experience inform one another over time. Writing is an integral part of my practice and often shapes the direction and structure of my films.

Over the course of five years, I worked in Tanzania on the book "Don’t Hurt Him" (2020), a reported nonfiction project documenting the persecution of people with albinism and the social, cultural, and political contexts surrounding it. Over many years, I have also published texts and photographic stories in the press, collaborating with leading publications.

Three young men from Kyiv told me about what life looks like when war comes for you.

Little death in Pattaya

Pattaya is a city in Thailand which, thirty years ago, was just a poor fisherman village. Today, it is a metropolis filled with flashy neon lights, the global capital of sex tourism and the chosen destination for many Western men. Five of them tell their stories related to this Thai city.

Don't Hurt Him

From 2014 to 2020, I worked on a non-fiction book exploring the persecution of people with albinism in Tanzania and other African countries. The book was published in Polish by Czarne Publishing House.
