Andrzej Munk is considered to be one of the most consequential directors in the history of Polish cinema, though his overall output is by far more modest than that of Wajda, Kawalerowicz or Polanski. Indeed, his films are unknown to the vast majority of viewers. (...) His precipitate death in 1961 turned him into a legend known only to a select few. That group might be about to grow, however, thanks to a monograph by Marek Hendrykowski and two DVD records featuring Munk's documentaries [...]

"Józef Robakowski's services for the Polish avant-garde art of the last five decades cannot be overestimated. He is author of several important films and installations, one of the founders of the legendary Film Form Workshop. And yet, in the last decades, his art remained somewhat overshadowed by artists riding the waves of subsequent vogues and fascinations.

Munk's documentary output is [...]

"When the DVD market suffers a serious crisis, and subsequent distributors switch from releasing films to other methods of raking in the dough, such publications as "Antologia Polskiej Animacji" are symptoms of a positive madness. Here we have ingenious authors of the undertaking who chose to supply a niche market which is always receptive of strange, experimental films. And did they do it in a skilful way! Singularly appealing (box containing a very interesting booklet), the [...]
