I only realised earlier today that the post about The Saragossa Manuscript<\/em> provides continuity with last week’s examples of Polish cinema; unintentional but it shows where my head is at just now.<\/p>\n

Here’s another example, and another abstract filmmaker I hadn’t come across before. Andrzej Pawlowski (1925\u20131986) was also a painter, and his films take a painterly approach to their manipulation of light and colour. Here and There<\/em><\/a> is a short from 1957 that would have been labelled psychedelic if it had been made ten years later. The gorgeous visuals seem at odds with the score by Adam Walacinski, a typical piece of mid-century dissonance that now seems less avant-garde than merely unsuitable. One challenge of abstract cinema is to find music (if music is required) that doesn’t seem to have been chosen at random. Here and There<\/em> would work just as well with many other six-minute pieces as its score.<\/p>\n
