Abstract: The paper is dedicated to Julian Antonisz Antoniszczak, an extravagant artist, skilled inventor and an experimental filmmaker affiliated with The Animated Film Studio in Krakow (Poland). Although Antoniszs works are rarely screened on international festivals, he remains very well remembered by Polish animation aficionados, mostly as the author of oddball ‘noncamera’ films drawn, painted, scratched, burned or woodcutprinted directly on 35 mm tape. His strong inclination towards visual experiment makes him akin to internationally acclaimed avantgarde filmmakers such as Norman McLaren, Stan Brakhage or Len Lye, yet, in comparison to these artists, Antoniszs output appears as far less hermetic and exclusive. The director won a significant popularity among Polish viewers thanks to his ability to reconcile an experimental approach to film medium with absurd mockery of socialist reality, appealing primitivism and insane burlesque. It strikes as characteristic that Antoniszs artistic method based on radical dedication to ‘do it yourself’ philosophy, his anarchistic sense of humor as well as natural distrust of authorities and mainstream doctrines made him a cult artist for Polish punk movement vital in 1980s. From the perspective of film historian Antoniszs pursuit for artistic independence in times of ideological hegemony may be regarded as an exemplification of the wider context of Polish dissident art which over the last two decades of the communist regime combined guerilla methods with subversive messages.
