The cycle Filmoteka. History of Polish experimental film is based on the resources of Filmoteka – an online artist’s moving image archive. The series responds to the need to recapitulate and systematize the knowledge about films by Polish visual artists from the 1930s to the present day – knowledge that until now has been dispersed and available mainly in specialist publications.

The programme consists of six meetings with researchers, curators and critics dealing with film and new media art. The invited experts present the history and development of Polish artists’ moving image over the decades, illustrating their lectures with screenings of the most outstanding productions.
