FUGUE FOR CELLO, TRUMPET AND LANDSCAPE
POLISH TITLE: FUGA NA WIOLONCZELĘ, TRĄBKĘ I PEJZAŻ
REPRESENTED BY KFF
Jerzy Kucia is back after thirteen years of silence with this meditative story in the form of a poetic film based on a relationship between images and music. The film shows the process of evoking feelings and searching for landscape specificity by recounting events which have taken place in the scenery.
