A trained medical doctor who said he first became fascinated by hypnosis in order to deal with medical students sleeping through his lectures, Kashpirovskiy became a cult phenomenon of epic proportions once state television channels began to carry his appearances.

“Kaspirovskiy is part of my childhood memories. When I first saw him on television, I was seven years old and I lived in a small village in gray, communist Poland.

On the screen was a strange-looking man with black hair, speaking a language I didn’t understand. Meanwhile, the light bulbs in our apartment were mysteriously flickering.

As I discovered later, the electricity grid was under enormous strain due to the huge amount of electricity consumed by the bulky televisions of the time, as everyone was watching him at the same time.” As he grew up, studying film in the United Kingdom and moving into a cinematography career, he forgot about the experience, he says, “until it came back to me during the first lockdown in 2020. I became curious about what happened to him.

He was a very important part of the transition: The fall of communism and the early days of capitalism – a shift that changed everything in this part of the world.” Konopa became convinced the Kashpirovskiy story was worth telling, he says, “especially at a time of another political and social change that we are living through right now.” “When I started watching Kashpirovskiy’s seances, I was surprised how modern he sounded. He reminded me of a contemporary life coach.

He tells people that everything will be OK and tries to give them advice on how to live their lives. Sometimes, he literally says: ‘I will hold your hands and walk you through this.’” Konopa found the most compelling archival material in Ukraine, where Kashpirovskiy began his career, he says.
