Event Description

Waltz with Bashir by Ari Folman from 2008 is the first meeting of a wide audience with an animated documentary. At that time, it was written in Polish articles about the "success of the quadrature of the circle" (Dorota Chrobak) and the birth of the oxymoronic formula (Iwona Kurz). A decade has passed since the premiere of the famous movie. At this time, the number of animated documents significantly increased. It was reminded that this "crossover collaboration" has over a hundred years of tradition. If so - why was it noticed, appreciated and named only recently? Why is the formula of an animated documentary so eagerly used today - since the 1990s? What has changed in cinematography, and maybe even in the perception of reality, that animation has become irreplaceable in the telling about the world and human being? How animation techniques gain credibility? And last but not least why animated documentaries it's still controversial or even not acceptable for many people.
