Focus on Poland 2 (15)

July 17, 2011 by LIAF

Drawing from a vast culture of storytelling and fairytales, a deep well of profound historical experiences and an exposure to a multitude of artistic influences, Polish animation has a history, a depth and a diversity that few countries can hope to match. This survey of contemporary Polish animation showcases how these various forces and influences are playing out in the first decade of the 21st century.
