ANDRZEJ PAPUZIŃSKI REVIEW AT CAMERIMAGE
Added: 08.11.2015
One who wishes to understand the poet, must go to the poet’s land. In order to understand artists,
one must be an artist. Andrzej Papuziński makes films about artists, revealing their unique
personalities. Their presence is a crucial element of his cinematic projects. The director exposes
the world of their imagination. Through his camera, he shows people that use art to create
metaphors, symbols, and mental shortcuts. In his narration, Papuziński employs the same
concepts. By transmitting these artistic means to his films, he is able to present the artists in a
way they would present themselves. By applying this method he explores their identity and
becomes a poet just like them. His films deal with the mystery of art through the language of
cinema. Visual artists are the creators and the substance of his narration. Because of this, his
films become independent works of art. Andrzej Papuziński is an exceptional artist. There is no
one quite like him. His characters are always put first, and he always comes second.

Glory to the Bull
An award-winning film about the work of Franciszek Starowieyski, one of the most outstanding
Polish artists – a painter, set designer, graphic designer, and the creator of the drawing theatre.
He gained popularity in the 1960s by designing theatre and cinema posters. By means of
unconventional visuals and creational staging, Andrzej Papuziński shows the artist at work. The
title of the film refers to Starowieyski’s pseudonym. Because of doubts concerning the spelling of
his aristocratic name, he used to sign his pictures as ‘Jan Byk’.

based on some of the fragments and furnishings saved by the employees of the Castle and the
National Museum during the winter around the end of 1939. Apart from documenting the
reconstruction process, the film shows the past crafting techniques and demonstrates the role of

Stanisław Zagajewski - Ars Mea, Lux Mea
A ballad about Stanisław Zagajewski, a self-taught artist from Włocławek. The world of his
imagination is shaped in fragile clay, and filled with bizarre, fantastical creatures from the plane
located between dreams and reality. The film depicts a man torn between the poverty of everyday
life and the wealth of fantasy. It shows the artist’s alienation in his environment, love for animals,
and faith in the mission of the artist and art itself.

Cinematographer: Janusz Połom
Poland, 1978
