Animated History of Poland

Created by an Oscar-nominated Polish director Tomasz Bagiński, Animated History of Poland, is an extremely well done film presenting 1000 years of the Polish history. The task was not an easy one... Rich in dramatic events, Polish history is not only difficult to summarize, but also hard to understand for everybody else then Poles themselves (sometimes I have the feeling that even they don't fully catch all its complex details).

Anyway, Animated History of Poland is a terrific animation. Its aim is rather to make people curious about the heroic, but tragic fate of Polish nation, because understand it without having any background knowledge is not something you can do during a lunch break.

Pay attention to the breathtaking soundtrack composed by Adam Skorupa. It matches perfectly the visual side of the film and creates amazing atmosphere.

The film has been made for the Polish Pavilon at Shanghai's 2010 EXPO.
