| Streszczenie: | The article aims at an exegesis of Stefan and Franciszka Themerson’s Europa, one of the most prominent achievements of the Polish interwar avantgarde. For decades, the film was considered lost, and its recent discovery allows revisiting the way the film was thought of and understood, as well as its significance for the understanding of peculiarity of Polish culture.

This image highlights the tensions between the progress, industrialisation, urbanisation, and the provincial, tradition, sensibility to nature and harmony, which were present in Poland placed in a midway between the West and the East. |
