The Struggle for Form: Perspectives on Polish Avant-Garde Film 1916-1989 is the first
comprehensive account of the Polish avant-grade film in English from its beginning
in the early decades of the last century to the collapse of communism in 1989. Taking
a broad understanding of avant-garde film, this collection includes writings on the
pioneering work of the internationally acclaimed Franciszka and Stefan Themerson;
the Polish Futurists' (Jalu Kurek, Anatol Stern) engagement with film; The Thaw and
animation(Jan Lenica and Walerian Borowczyk, Andrzej Pawlowski, Zbigniew Rybczynski;)
documentary (Natalia Brzozowska, Kazimierz Karabasz, Wojciech Wiszniewski), Polish
émigré filmmakers (Roman Polan Jerzy Skolimowski, Andrzej Zulawski) as well as essays
and documentation on the widely known Film Form Workshop (Józef Robakowski, Ryszard
Wasko, Wojciech Bruszewski). Including the mixture of historical writing from early
film magazines with commissioned eassays, this book constitutes an important source
on the rich, complex and influential history of the Polish film avant-garde, which
is presented from the perspective of both British (A.L. Ress, Jonathan Owen, Michael
O'Pary) and Polish (Marcin GiZycki, Ryszard Kluszczynski, Kamila Kuc) authorities
on the Subject. This volume is thus an indispensable introduction to the theories
and practices of critically important avant-garde artists and filmmakers. Book jacket
