KOŃ - concert for animated films

Koń (A Horse) is an artistic entity founded by guitarist Sławomir Szudrowicz (Something Like Elvis, Dobre Bo Dobre, Selina Martin, 5G), drummer Asia Glubiak (Panieneczki, Limboski, Barbara Wrońska), saxophonist Michał Fetler (Jazzband Młynarski Masecki, Polmuz, Fanfara Avantura) and keyboard and rave gale virtuoso Jakub Królikowski. The formal assumptions of the band oscillate somewhere around country and western style, blues, alternative music, modern jazz and psytrance. "Fusion!" - one might say! By no means, after all, fusion is associated with a bass hanging under one’s chin and Koń doesn't play any bass, because the bass is abandoned nowadays. However, there is a bass saxophone, which 90% of you have presumably never seen before. In 2022, the band released their debut album (although the members are definitely not debutants) that received very enthusiastic reviews. It is also worth saying that Koń is mostly a concert animal.

Undone, Konrad Kulczyński, Grażyna Rigall, Poland, 2021, 4’43

A still from an animated film. Cutout animation. Insects surrounded by leaf fragments.

Utopian, cut-out animation. A short story about a dream of breaking yourself free from the life in captivity. Inspired by The Gaia Hypothesis as well as the Polish School of Animation, combined with the original music and sound created by outstanding jazz musicians: Olo Walicki and Jacek Prościński.

Roz-poznanie, Przemysław Świda, Poland, 2020, 6’

A still from an animated film. A man is carrying a black suitcase, which opens and a man in a white suit and hat flies out.

Airborne, Andrzej Jobczyk, Polska, 2021, 7’36’’

A still from an animated film. A man dressed in a pilot's suit sits in the cockpit of a glider.

"Airborne” is a surreal animation that connects the world of flying machines with the kingdom of flora and fauna. Engrossed in the fight, an airplane pilot loses his target which leads to tragedy. The plane crashes into the crown of a tree. The tragic ending turns out to open a new stage in history. At the scene of the accident a new life is awakened and now it has to solve the mystery of its origin. Airborne is a story about passion, its roots and what we have to lose to be born again.

Lights out, Jakub Baniak, Polska, 2019, 5’17’’

A still from an animated film. Car interior. A man holds the steering wheel, empty seats next to him.

Film asks one simple question - what may happen when lights go out?

Keep it…, Wojciech Siejak, Alicja Grotuz, Poland, 2019, 4’46’’

A still from an animated film. Fragment of the face of an unidentified figure with large green eyes and a long blue nose.

An unknown sound resonates across a very peculiar world starting an accordingly weird turn of events...

Observatory, Wiesława Ruta, Poland, 2022, 6’10’’

A still from an animated film. The shape resembles an eye with a clear iris on a black background.

Experimental abstract music video with the music of Danish musician Sofie Birch. It is a game between abstraction and figurativeness, which aims to be the best accompany to the music using the cinematic means of expression.

3 geNARRATIONS, Paulina Ziółkowska, Poland, 2021, 8'30"

A still from an animated film. Three women hold hands to form a semi-circle. They are inside the yellow room.

3 generations, 3 narrations, 3 different points of view. A dance of generations.
