Cineforms poster

Released in 1957, Cineforms is an animation film directed by Andrzej Pawłowski, running about 7 minutes.

What it’s about. Soft clouds of light rotate, fan out and change colour: With his cosmic “Luxograms”, Pawłowski radically rethinks the Lumières’ serpentine dance and dematerialises the moving body. It exists neither on a real stage nor in the shape of a real dancer but solely in the projection with a sophisticated system of optical lenses.

How it landed. With an audience score of 3.9/10, Cineforms has proved divisive with audiences.
