Wojciech Jerzy Has Shorts Program
The Long Strange Trips of Wojciech Jerzy Has
March 22 - 31, 2024
A varied program collecting several of Has’s early fiction and documentary shorts, ranging from fascinating industrial films to assured miniature parables.
This program collects several of Has’s early short film works in both fiction and documentary. John’s Feeder is a miniature parable about a young boy who misunderstands the function of a bird feeder. Herbalists of the Stony Valley follows young students as they pick herbs in order to save up enough money to purchase a film projector. Cultural Review 2/53 is a kind of early documentary tour of a museum of musical instruments. Finally, Our Team is a beautiful document (in color) of a Polish dance ensemble’s rehearsals.
