A Great Worry

"Animating human-size puppets, in D.I.M. Skrobecki explores the relationship of a couple secluded in an apartment. Their meaningless life has a single justification and tenderness: they feed a little bird that comes from time to time to the windowsill." -Giannalberto Bendazzi: "Animation: A World History: Volume III: Contemporary Times"

The villagers one day are surprised by a strange phenomenon - a high embankment begins to form all over the area. Like in a mole pit, the shifting earth destroys everything around it. After the "cataclysm", new blocks of flats - all made of concrete slab - rise in place of the destroyed farms. Only the residents, transferred to new conditions, do not change their habits.

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.

A film about art. Unusual compositions of images give familiar objects a new look.

A film miniature for classical music inspired by the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The form of a luminous line following the rhythm and tempo of the music creates musical instruments suspended in space. The line runs through a city lit up by neon lights, tracing surreal, abstract shapes, only to transform them into dancing silhouettes a moment later. The sounds of the music change the intensity of the light from white and black to a full range of colors vibrating to the rhythm of the music.

A film impression set to the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, realized using puppet animation techniques, with the visual layer inspired by the paintings of Giuseppe Arcimboldo.

A little girl's cold spreads all over town in this short pop-art styled animation.

A film to classical music made using the pixilation technique - animation of a live set with a time-lapse camera. Panorama of the city shown to the rhythm of music imitating the rhythm of the flight of a bumblebee. The camera here plays the role of eyes - it is from the point of view of the flight of the insect that the world is shown. The image of the roofs of houses is coming closer or moving away. A chimney sweep standing on the roof abruptly dodges something flying at him...

The protagonists of the film are three brothers: Eino, Aho and Laje. The brothers live from the cultivation of the family land. Eino works from dawn to night. Aho likes to spend time playing at a nearby inn. Laje once helps Eino, and once accompanies Aho. Once Aho gets cheated by playing dice and losing his family land. The brothers set off in search of a job. They reach a road fork. Eino wants to go left, Aho to the right, and Laje agrees once with one, once with the other brother. The brothers, unable to convince each other for their reasons, start a great quarrel.

In the second part of the film, the optics of the story changes. The block, which emerged from the lake at sunrise, stops wandering, stopping in the water, and its inhabitants indulge in summer relaxation. In the evening - at sunset - they will return, walking on water, to their apartments, and the building will again be immersed in the lake. And all to the rhythm of Zygmunt Konieczny's music, in the first part - more marching, in the second - elegiac.
