Description of the place
Chmiel is a village in the Bieszczady Mountains, in the Lutowiska municipality, located at the foot of the Otryt range. It used to be inhabited mainly by Greek Catholics, as evidenced by the historic St. Nicholas Church. The building of the Orthodox church was used as a film location by Jerzy Hoffman's crew in the film "Pan Wołodyjowski".
The village took a liking to writer, journalist, radio and film scriptwriter Jerzy Janicki, who bought a house in Chmiel in the 1980s and lived there in his spare time from his Warsaw duties. Here he wrote scripts and short stories, the plot of which was often linked to the Bieszczady Mountains. In nearby Zatwarnica there is a studio cinema Końkret, which in its regular repertoire has 3 films based on Janicki's scripts: "Wolna sobota", "Hasło", "Kino objazdowe".
