Set TVP Kultura animates 1

A sharp satire of middle-class smugness. A belated participant of a procession forgets his obligatory flag.

Mirosław Kijowicz very consistently returned in his simple films to the single subject: an individual's attitude to a system. The greatness of the film Cages is determined by its punch line, showing illusions of all power and the question: is the person who believes he possesses it actually free?

A student's essay by Daniel Szczechura. A masterpiece of political satire, only slightly disguised in grotesque. Part of the film was made with the cut-out technique.

One of the most brilliant debuts in the history of animation in Poland. Everything is a Number is a story about a man rebelling against the domination of numbers. In his struggle he is preordained to lose.

A combination of cut-out animation and cartoon. A difficult to interpret, morbid grotesque about feminine possessiveness. A film about confinement and freedom.

The film shows a zoomed-in image of woollen yarn, forming smoothly transient pictures, some of them utterly void of any objective reference.

A story about fighting for power, told with congenially simple graphic means. Somewhere in a column hall of a monumental building an important meeting is held. One place at the presidential table is free. It will be taken by the person who will use the best trick to get to it.

The film is made with the so-called dynamic painting technique. The horse wins a dual against the man trying to tame it.

The last work made together by Jan Lenica and Walerian Borowczyk, which started their world career. Several free episodes without a plot, maintained in different conventions, according to the used method: from collage to deformed acting movement and animated objects, to "enlivened" photograms by Eadwaerd Muybridge.

An original film made with the cut-out technique and regarded as a representative of the philosophical and reflective trend of the Polish school of animation of the 1960s.

Jazz pieces by Jerzy Matuszkiewicz played by a puppet quartet. A contrast between antiquity and modernity.

Red and Black is not only a visually beautiful and excellently animated piece, but it is also an extraordinarily light film of brilliant and spontaneous humour.

The film recognised as the first Polish animation. Adaptation of the famous legend of a cunning shoemaker, bad dragon and sulphur-stuffed sheep.
