Videokaseta

A film that uses animation as a tool to spastify the various stages of cinema development. It is a play with form and juggling of genres, with Zbigniew Rybczynski collaborating. The theme of this work can be considered the transience and inevitability of fate, which is symbolized by a painting hung on the wall showing hunters in a boat. Generations of a certain family meet in the living room, up to the then present day, the mid-1970s.

Directed by Filip Bajon, Videokaseta leans on a strong ensemble — Jadwiga Kenda, Jadwiga Pietraszkiewicz, Jadwiga Nyc-Wronko — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1976.
