A Short History of Polish Avant-Garde and
Experimental Film
October 25–November 2, 2003
This
two-part program, which accompanies A
Short History of Polish Animation, focuses on the career
of Stefan and Franciszka Themerson, the husband-and-wife team who
created innovative abstract and structuralist film experiments,
first in Poland in the 1930s and then in England during and after
World War II. The Themersons' influential body of work inspired
Roman Polanski’s 1958 short Two Men and a Wardrobe;
the Łódź-based Film Form Workshop of the 1970s; and
Zbigniew Rybczyński, who on October 25 will present his Oscar-winning
film Tango (1980), his pioneering music videos, and other
radical experiments in animation and optical printing.
