A retrospective of Izabela Plucińska, one of the most original Polish animators, is going to be held during this year's 39th edition of the Bergamo Film Meeting. The programme includes 14 films by the director.
The first edition of the Bergamo Film Meeting took place in 1983. The main idea behind it was to promote good cinema, discover new international productions and present past masterpieces, hence a strong emphasis on retrospectives of outstanding artists, such as Izabela Plucińska. As an exception, this year's edition will be held at the turn of April and May. In turn, the audience of the Italian festival can expect an extremely rich programme.
Fans of the Polish animator's work will certainly not be disappointed. The program will feature a complete retrospective of the director's work. There will be as many as 14 films made by Izabela Plucińska using clay animation.

She studied animation at the Lodz Film School, graphics and design at the Academy of Fine Arts, as well as at the The Film & Television Academy (HFF) „Konrad Wolf” in Potsdam.
