Romanian artist Anca Damian’s elegantly animated narrative, constructed as a storytelling session between father and daughter, is a docudrama traversing a half-century of European history. As Damian describes it, “The character Adam Jacek Winkler is a Polish refugee in Paris, an artist, mountain climber, and romantic who lived a boundless life and envisioned himself a knight of the twentieth century, leaving to fight with the mujahideen in Afghanistan against the Soviets.” The images, derived from Winkler’s own paintings, motifs from film history, and Afghan art and photography, are offset by Alexander Balanescu’s poignant score.
Art historians Marcin Giżycki and Agnieszka Taborska in person.
