Korzenie i sytuacja polskiej animacji artystycznej pierwszych dekad XXI wieku
The Roots and the Condition of Polish Artistic Animation in the First Decades of the 21st Century

Summary/Abstract: The socio-political and economic transformations initiated in 1989 caused a severe crisis in the Polish animated film of the 1990s. After a period of stagnation, the first decades of the new century brought a significant revival of Polish artistic animation. The author presents the works of Polish artistic animation and examines its achievements against the historical background of the “Polish school of animation”, which has always been a world-famous, unique cultural phenomenon. Aware of the fact that new generations of artists both continue this tradition, as well as engage with it polemically, the author emphasizes the role of internationally renowned film education, which is crucial to the transfer of the school’s values. At the same time, he indicates that, in recent decades, a distinctive feature of Polish animation has been its intense feminisation.
