It is a surreal combination of images, music and symbols – a film collage so characteristic of Rybczyński’s work. The film is full of joy, a dance of objects and characters that scroll across the screen to the rhythm of stanzas of Julian Tuwim’s poem. The author of the music for the film was Mieczysław Janik – an outstanding sound operator connected with the studio in Łódź and, first of all, the initiator of creating a professional sound studio at Se-Ma-For.Read More »

An excellent documentary on the great Zbig Rybczynski, spanning his entire career, from Kwadrat to his most recent Hi-Def works. It’s not an overstatement to say that Zbig is one of the great pioneers of the moving image; a true visionary whose influence and ideas can be found everywhere in contemporary filmmaking and advertising.

Fascinating and moving in equal parts, Zbig discusses his life and experiences and how they have shaped his work. An incredibly eloquent and engaging narrator and storyteller, the man is as interesting as his creations – a beautiful mind, an extraordinary artist and a remarkable man.Read More »
