Izabela Dłużyk, a sound documentary filmmaker with a passion for nature and a researcher at the University of Gdańsk, has been included in the BBC’s list of one hundred women of 2023.
Izabela Dluzik is a blind person. Since childhood, she has been sensitive to sounds: those made by insects, bison, plants or birds. Especially the birds are important. Since her family gave her a tape recorder at the age of 12, she has developed a particular sensitivity to birdsong. As a result, she is able to recognise species solely on the basis of their sounds.
Izabela Dłużyk announces that she is already working on her next project. It is a sound recording of the seasons. The distinctive sounds of spring, winter, autumn and summer will this time also be accompanied by photographs.
In addition to the Pole, the list includes, lawyers Michelle Obama and Amal Clooney. It also features Hollywood actress America Ferrera and Golden Ball winner Aitana Bonmati.
