Witold Giersz (Oczekiwanie : Awaiting 1962)

A beautiful short film by Polish animator, Witold Giersz. Description: A man waits for a woman in a cafe. Idly he fashions two figures out of the paper napkins on the table. The figures come to life! Their behavior mirrors the thoughts of a man who expects a woman. Witold Giersz displays his animation virtuosity in this comic-tragic tale by animating the napkins at the scale of real life and using the actual objects on the table as props. Screenplay: Witold Giersz, Ludwik Perski Director of photo
