Visions
of Avant-Garde Film
Polish Cinematic Experiments from Expressionism to Constructivism
Kamila Kuc
"...an important addition to the English-language literature on experimental film in Central and Eastern Europe in the first half of the 20th century." - Marcin Gizycki, author of Polish Animated Film
Warsaw-and London-based filmmakers Franciszka and Stefan Themerson are often recognized internationally as pioneers of the 1930s Polish avant-garde. Yet, from the turn of the century to the end of the 1920s, Poland’s literary
and art scenes were also producing a rich array of criticism and early experiments with the moving image that set the stage for later developments in the avant-garde. In this comprehensive and accessible study, Kamila Kuc draws on myriad undiscovered archival
sources to tell the history of early Polish avant-garde movements—Symbolism, Expressionism, Futurism, and Constructivism—and to reveal their impact on later practices in art cinema.
Kamila Kuc is Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Media and Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London. A writer, experimental filmmaker and curator, she
publishes widely on the subject of film and media. She has curated programs of experimental film for international film festivals and venues and her films have been screened at international film festivals.
