This is a 6-minute short film by Polish animation director Tomasz Baginski. He made this one only in his mid-20s as it was an early career effort by him and this is also the movie that got him the Academy Awards nomination. However, I personally believe that this is not his best work and that he improved steadily during his career. It is a bit sad to see that he has not yet made a feature film. But he is still not even 40, so it may happen one day. This could easily become one of the best animated films of the year. He certainly has the talent. And even if I do not consider this film his best, I would have been fine with it winning the Academy Award. But for some reason, they awarded the very forgettable Chubbchubbs that year.
"Katedra" is brilliantly animated and it must be quite an experience to watch it on the big screen unfortunately one that nobody will ever have again. There is not too much action, it's all about the style and the atmosphere. The music helps it too. The last 90 minutes, however, are packed with action then, maybe to make up for the first 5 minutes where not really a lot is happening. It's certainly worth a watch. Recommended and please Mr. Baginski give us that feature film at some point..
