Triumph of Captivity: Paweł Jaskulski Talks About Five Anti-fascist Films with Andrzej Barański
Abstract
The interview with Andrzej Barański focuses on his short works, from which the director himself has selected five anti-fascist films: Lexikon 32, Construction, History of the Soldier, Cabaret, Other People’s Children. In these films, Barański, in contrast to his feature films, deals with the theme of war. All the above-mentioned films elude the unambiguous classification of species. They consist of assembled illustrations, photos, encyclopaedic entries. Are these still documentaries or animated films? What is their message? Barański looks for the answers to these questions, carefully analysing individual film sequences, material selection, and the specificity of the work at the iconographic table. The director’s story also contains an important biographical thread. Barański turns out to be an excellent analyst of his own works; including, what is im- portant, the least known ones. Thanks to this, the artist’s entire filmography gains a new context.
