Solo in a Fallow Field
Production Manager
Kalina links traditional animation with a re-projection. To the rhythm of the popular folk song Ukochany kraj, umiłowany kraj (Beloved country, dear country) he creates an anti-ballade about the farmer’s hard life and difficult work. Monotonous and mechanical activities degrade a man.
Bermuda Triangle
Producer
The box from the film strip becomes an arbitrary plot of action relating to the mysterious phenomena taking place in the Bermuda Triangle. Experimental short by Jerzy Kalina.
Ludwik
Producer
A stylish Louis XIV chair leaves the interior of the house and exposes itself to the forces of nature. It falls prey to a chainsaw that turns everything into a mass of identical, practical objects.
Muszla
Producer
The hectic life of a modern city. Surreal animation by Jerzy Kalina
In The Grass
Producer
The second animated work from filmmaker, sculptor and painter Jerzy Kalina. Using multi-plane techniques mixed with paper animation and coloured grains (an element found in his first film, ...i stała się światłość, which I shall upload shortly), W trawie is a fantastical exploration of the world beneath our feet.
…And There Was Light
Producer
Jerzy Kalina's first film, animated using coloured grains to depict a fantastical, vividly coloured genesis. The creation of the world and the dawn of life in under ten minutes.
Road
Production Manager
It is a philosophical parable about a man at the crossroads. He divides himself in two, as he cannot decide on the one way only. Each half follows its own path. When they meet again, they do not fit each other any longer. The journey changed them irreversibly.
Science Fiction
Producer
Conquerors land on a newly discovered planet and try to colonize and explore a new discovered planet.
The Charm of the Wheels
Production Manager
A swarm of locusts teases a herd of horses. A four-wheeled vehicle drives into the herd. It pulls behind its riders, the horses, and the insects. The gallop is more and more dynamic, gravediggers prepare coffins for crazy drivers.
Sweet Rhythms
Producer
An abstract short that shows the process of honey production.
Moto-gas
Production Manager
An experimental animation by Kazimierz Urbański about transportation. Combines various techniques: traditional cartoon film, cut-out, documentary photos, animation of objects, and effects caused directly on the tape.
