We started with a workshop from David where we watched Journey by Daniel Szczechura. We had a very in depth discussion about our interpretations of the film and everyone got quite passionately involved. I personally viewed it as an exploration of mundanity, keeping in mind the context of the film being produced in soviet Poland. To me it was created as an expression of a common occurence, something that happens everyday that most can relate to. A way to make something out of nothing and just appreciate the mundane.
Later we had a lecture introducing the history of animation, exploring the very early stages of film and comic strips that lead to the very first animated cartoons.
