Two lonely persons in a room who perk up when a bird they can feed comes flying to their window. But one day the bird fails to appear. Life-sized human puppets were constructed for this film.
This film is considered to be the first Polish puppet animation after WWII. Production began in 1939 but because of the war could not be completed until 1947. It’s a fairytale from the court of King Krakus.
A simple black-and-white metaphor of human existence. A man wanders through an apparently endless convoluted labyrinth of stairs and climbs countless steps before he reaches his surprising goal.
The story of a flowershop which magically comes alive when the owner has left. Spools of wire unroll and shape themselves into figures of men and women. The ladies dress up in colourful petals and the ball begins.
When the piano lid is closed and the lights go out, the lampshades are convinced they can make the joint hop all by themselves. And they’re right! A harmonious composition of music and movement.
A discarded sack in the attic reveals its evil side. All objects in the house are in great danger now. "The sack" is the first Polish film in the Czech tradition of object animation.
