Eight Polish animation shorts

I went to Teatro Guiniguada yesterday to see a programme of Polish animation shorts, the second event of the Polish animation retrospective organised by Animayo, Instituto Polaco de Cultura and Filmoteca Canaria.

1. Slodkie rytmy (Sweet Rhythms) by Kazimierz Urbanski (1965)
2. Solo na ugorze (Solo in a fallow field) by Jerzy Kalina (1982)
3. Cserwone i czarne (Red and Black) by Witold Giersz (1964)
4. Syn (Son) by Ryszard Czekala (1970)
5. Ziegenort by Tomasz Popakul (2013)
6. Sztuka spadania (Fallen Art) by Tomasz Baginski (2004)
7. Dokument (A Documentary) by Marcin Podolec (2015)
8. Tajemnica Góry Malakka (The mystery of Malakka Mountain) by Jakub Wroński (2012)

Unfortunately, I missed the first event of the cycle last week. With all respect, the yesterday’s programme was dominated by depressing and/or disturbing films, with notable exception of Cserwone i czarne and Tajemnica Góry Malakka. In the latter, the Boteroesque six-year-old called Junior embarks on a journey to China to solve the mystery of his father’s disappearance. Marvellous.
