Fallen Art


Fallen Art (Polish Sztuka spadania) is the name of a 6-minute, animated short film written and directed by Tomasz Bagiński. It is his Second film. In 2006 it has received the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award.

Plot:

Atoll, An old, forgotten military base somewhere in the Pacific. Soldiers who lost their minds, due to the hardships of past missions, and exemplary officers the Army can't yet get rid of are sent there. There, far away from civilization, laws and rules they nurture their insanities.

Sergeant Al cultivates his love for young and brave soldiers.

Dr. Friedrich cultivates his talent for photography.

And the old, mentally lost General A creates his art. He uses neither paper nor canvas. He attempts something completely different.

It is very beautiful. You may find some clues but the whole idea is amazing. If you consider it as a philosophy, it will be so easy to define the leaders' actions.
