Flying Hair
Poland1984animated8'Retrospektywa Piotra Dumały (2021)
An impression on the walk of a couple in love, full of subtle poetry. Embraced, they are walking slowly and a starry sky is above them. Suddenly, a violent storm breaks, tree branches are being snapped and the lovers are showered with silver needles weaving into their hair. All this is happening to the music of Krzysztof Knittel distinguished with an honourable mention at the Animafilm festival in Zamość (1987). Piotr Dumała’s graphic art was awarded three years earlier in Kraków (1984) and the film received a prize at the Lubuskie Lato Filmowe in Łagów (1986). In this film for the first time the artist employed plasterboard animation, the technique invented by him.
