Poland1966animated8'Retrospektywa Witolda Giersza (2017)

This animated impression focuses on the inventions and scientific achievements that are essential for our times. Paradoxically, it turns out that all these, often very important, discoveries become completely forgotten and, as such, part of the world that has irrevocably gone away. The co-author of the script to this perverse story is Lech Pijanowski, a well-known film critic, precursor and promoter of the game theory in Poland.
