Short animated film by Elżbieta Kamienska. Classic animation on celluloid, 35 mm.

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.

In a small village, in a modest cottage, lived a mother with her three sons. Each of them was different. The eldest stood out for his strength and beauty, the middle one for his knowledge, and the youngest for his love of nature. Everyone made fun of the youngest. Once, they sent Jędrek to a nearby forest called the Black Forest. There, the young man met a dangerous sorcerer who was holding a beautiful princess captive on Glass Mountain. Upon returning home, Jędrek shared this news with his loved ones. The brothers decided to defeat the evil sorcerer and free the princess, but each of them had a different goal in mind.

A film miniature to classical music. An atmospheric film impression introducing the viewer to the aesthetic motifs of the Far East: a fan, a vase with Eastern ornaments, a Chinese teacup, fabric. A butterfly flies out of the opening fan and leads the viewer through details to panoramas of Chinese landscapes, only to return to the closing fan in the film's final sequence. The film image synchronized to the rhythm of Fritz Kreisler's music. The animated film, made in watercolor technique on paper, retains the character and delicacy of Chinese painting.

In a certain house in the kingdom of Lailonia live brothers and sisters. Each of them has different habits: Gia likes to smoke a cigar with a plume on his head in an armchair, Pepi has to hunt a few toucans before every breakfast, Kaku swallows barrel hoops, Heja wears ordinances on his back, and Hipa lassoes chimpanzees.

Etam, a young man from a small town in Lailonia, plucks pears from a neighbor's tree for his friend Nita. He is branded with a red patch on his pants for the theft. It soon turns out that the patch is contagious. Red patches appear on the pants of all Etam's friends. The patches get bigger and the boys wear a big red patch instead of pants. So they decide to pretend that they have red pants. When they come to school, however, the Teacher sees red patches instead of pants. He tells them to return to school only when they have pants. The boys, on Nita's advice, make holes in the patches and sew the real colored patches onto them. To the boys' surprise, the Teacher at school accepts the patched pants. He explains to them that the previous day they had red patches, and now they have patched pants. This is because it is possible to patch pants, while patches cannot be patched.

A film from the "Impressions" series, created using classical and cutout animation techniques. The author subjectively selects Gustav Klimt's paintings to transcend their structures in his filmic interpretations. He presents his own, often surprising, vision of the works of art. He draws on his own experiences and feelings to present their poetic interpretation. At the same time, he strives to preserve the works' internal coherence and the aura—the atmosphere—created by the painter.

A film from the series "Impressions" made using classical and trick animation techniques, inspired by the paintings of Joan Miro. Deformed figures - ideograms from Miro's paintings, float in an undefined space. The plastic forms of the sun and moon symbolize the elements associated with the cosmos - the activity of day and the magic of night, the eternal relationship of light and darkness. The natural link between the cosmos and the earth are the birds, which, returning from their skyward wanderings, smash the remnants of the night with their wings, only to disappear a moment later into the light of day.

A film impression set to the music of Leopold Mozart, realized using the combined animation technique. A child's toy—a mysterious box with many drawers, double bottoms, and unexpected nooks—reveals a new, surprising image with each touch: old instruments, faded photographs, playing cards, tin soldiers, and clay birds. The image changes like a kaleidoscope—each subsequent rotation of the box's wall surprises the viewer, creating a new form by partially leaving the previous one behind and building a new one.

The film is a very personal interpretation of the myth of Icarus, inspired by Pieter Bruegel the Elder's paintings "The Fall of Icarus" and "Children's Games." The film emphasizes the essence of Icarus's drama by showing his loneliness in a world of people preoccupied only with themselves.

The film presents a juxtaposition of the author's photographs of Memling's triptych "The Last Judgment." It poses the problem of choosing good and evil. Images of atomic explosions, the rubble of a burned-out city and the mocking laughter of the devil.

A film from the "Impressions" series, made using a combination of techniques. It presents the work of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian through documentary photographs from the era in which he lived and worked. The director shows the evolution of the visual arts at the beginning of the 20th century from Fauvism to geometric abstraction using Mondrian's paintings as an example. The artist's philosophical journey into abstraction, which for Mondrian was a confirmation of the superiority of the mind over the senses. The artist's works are woven into the turbulent history of the early 20th century, full of historical events and civilizational changes.

Short film by Jacek Kasprzycki. Music by Claude Debussy performed by Kazimierz Gierżod.

A miniature film set to classical music. A cart drives down a gray city street. Behind the houses, instead of the sun, a spinning wheel emerges, from which a broken thread falls into a nearby puddle. A little girl runs down the street. Suddenly, she stumbles and falls into the puddle. Tears from the animated houses fall into the puddle. The drops of tears "revive" the thread, which transforms into a fairy-tale skein and weaves a new dress for the girl. A spinner with a spinning wheel appears and weaves colorful strands around everything. Flowers bloom in the windows of the houses, and the gray walls are covered with vivid colors. The girl, carried by the skein, soars above the houses of what is now a colorful town.

Polish avant-garde animation featuring vanishing staircases and desperate searchlights with occasional breaks for a digital clock and a stone face.
