A film miniature to classical music. An atmospheric film impression introducing the viewer to the aesthetic motifs of the Far East: a fan, a vase with Eastern ornaments, a Chinese teacup, fabric. A butterfly flies out of the opening fan and leads the viewer through details to panoramas of Chinese landscapes, only to return to the closing fan in the film's final sequence. The film image synchronized to the rhythm of Fritz Kreisler's music. The animated film, made in watercolor technique on paper, retains the character and delicacy of Chinese painting.

A film from the "Impressions" series, created using classical animation techniques, executed with painting on celluloid. The viewer's guide through selected paintings by Marc Chagall is the figure of the Jew – the Eternal Wanderer, a symbol of the artist's feelings and experiences. Through the composition of selected paintings or their fragments, the film evokes the artist's life experiences and his self-definition of the world. The nostalgic atmosphere of longing for his native Vitebsk, the realities of his stay in Paris, his return to Russia, and the experiences of the revolution, "inscribed" in the poetics of Chagall's paintings, create a unique atmosphere within the film narrative, created by the artist's imagination.

Short film by Jacek Kasprzycki. Music by Claude Debussy performed by Kazimierz Gierżod.

In a certain house in the kingdom of Lailonia live brothers and sisters. Each of them has different habits: Gia likes to smoke a cigar with a plume on his head in an armchair, Pepi has to hunt a few toucans before every breakfast, Kaku swallows barrel hoops, Heja wears ordinances on his back, and Hipa lassoes chimpanzees.

Short animated film by Elżbieta Kamienska. Classic animation on celluloid, 35 mm.

The film presents a juxtaposition of the author's photographs of Memling's triptych "The Last Judgment." It poses the problem of choosing good and evil. Images of atomic explosions, the rubble of a burned-out city and the mocking laughter of the devil.

A film from the "Impressions" series, created using classical and cutout animation techniques. The author subjectively selects Gustav Klimt's paintings to transcend their structures in his filmic interpretations. He presents his own, often surprising, vision of the works of art. He draws on his own experiences and feelings to present their poetic interpretation. At the same time, he strives to preserve the works' internal coherence and the aura—the atmosphere—created by the painter.

Directed by Karolina Borgiasz.
