LIAF presents: Sex in the Polish Socialist Republic at Kinoteka Polish Film Festival

April 25, 2014 by LIAF

A showcase of Polish animated films dealing with the subject of sex and intimacy, which, although hidden under the surface of largely constrained social life under the communist regime in Poland, not only flourished, but also became the way of expressing personal freedom for many frustrated citizens.

The topic is transformed artistically, and often ironically, by the leading Polish animators such as Piotr Dumala, Ryszard Czeczot or Ryszard Antoniszczak. Introduced by our very own Director, Nag Vladermersky.
