Dies Irae

Director

“Skala’s films combine the principles of informel painting and abstract expressionism applied to the media of film. His approach was based on the manual method, on the application of artistic techniques to a scroll of raw or already exposed film – engraving, scratching, painting or drawing on it, burning holes in it or using specific chemical procedures.”
