'Dies Irae' from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Requiem. This is a fully original film impression, realized using the technique of painting animation performed directly under the camera (each frame will be painted with oil paints on stretcher bars). The film's script is inspired by the Apocalypse of St. John from the New Testament. Jasińska creates an impressionistic story around the vision of the four horses and riders of the Apocalypse.
