Piotr Kamler

In 1959 he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, after which he moved to Paris, where, after receiving a scholarship, he continued his studies at the National Higher School of Fine Arts. Soon after arriving in Paris, Kamler found himself in the experimental studio of Pierre Schaeffer at O.R.T.F., where, in collaboration with composers from the group Le Groupe de recherches musicales (GRM), he began to create short films. During the 1960s, this fruitful collaboration brought at least one film a year.
Kamler's works are characterized as "experimental animation" in form and "metaphysical fiction" in content, and the director himself is called the forerunner of computer aesthetics. Kamler himself did not create his films on a computer: in them, the precision of movement, the carefully calculated play of three—dimensional images, brilliant and detached, is the result of his long and painstaking, mostly single manual work.
