Experimental Poland 2# – Hommage to the Workshop of the Film Form

Curator: Federico Rossin

The Workshop of the Film Form was an art group active between 1970-1977 in Łódź. The artists of the group criticized both the university system and the structures of cinematic production, trying to free the film from its narrative codes, to unmask its artificiality, to analyze the foundations of the medium. The Workshop was a real subversive force in Polish experimental cinema, and an active center of creative rebellion.
