Masterclass

Poland2018animated6'Konkurs polski (2018)

How many failures can an artist suffer before he can find the best way to express his art? "Masterclass" tells the story about the growing of an artist, the slipups and mistakes he needs to make to achieve mastery. The master in this animation is Roman Polański and the characters are the protagonists of his films, such as "Chinatown", "Rosemary’s Baby" or "Two Men and a Wardrobe". To the rhythm of the tango from "Frantic", the characters from the big screen are parading along one of the streets of Łódź.
