A wide variety of topics and problems are presented on this 2-DVD set: nostalgic stories about the transience and loneliness are intertwined with the bitterly criticized consumerism. Delicate films about love in contrast to the sad visions of the future. The authors attempt to film psychoanalysis and "playing chess" with the memories.
The selection of titles reflects the diversity of techniques used by the contemporary film artists in Poland: a classical and computer animation, the stories painted directly into the camera - on the glass and canvas, collages and drawings, and the live cutouts. "Action Animation" is also a record of changes that have taken place in the Polish animation in the last two decades, as seen from the perspective of young artists.
This set is an important complement to the previous three anthologies, which together present to the entire history of Polish animation.
