ታዋቂ ከ Poland

Experimental animation by Janek Koza

Twelve year old Krzyś who supports his unemployed parents by collecting scrap metal was a hero of the film “Hercules”. After they had seen the film, the two young people, Sergiusz and Kasia, were so moved by the boy’s fate that they decided to help him. They took him on holiday, first to Warsaw where they live and then to the seaside. The odds are that it was not a one-off example of help and the boy’s fate will improve considerably in the future.

On an empty beach, boy meets girl - who sometimes swears uncontrollably. She is fascinated with the control he has over the kite his flying. He is fascinated with her presence. Turns out, weirdness is not as rare as we all assume.

The film shows the process of evoking feelings and searching for landscape specificity by recounting events which have taken place in the scenery.

A story showing that the devil is not as black as he is painted.

Film from the ‘Fourteen Tales from Lailonia Kingdom by Leszek Kołakowski’ series.

A man's frustration is shown as he tries to put on a winter hat.

Polish avant-garde animation that presents Escheresque geometric confounding to a heavy ego bass.

An exquisitely intricate work walking the tightrope between film as a record of reality and an abstracted visualisation of sound.
