PREMIERE - On the exact 80th anniversary of the death of Bruno Schulz (19th November 1942), one of Poland's greatest prose writers of the 20th century, the Polish Cultural Institute presents a film realised by the award-winning short filmmakers, the Quay Brothers, about Bruno Schulz's life and work.
Schulz was a Polish-Jewish writer, illustrator, painter, graphic artist and art teacher who was born in Drohobycz and spent his entire life there. He was an acute observer of life around him. In his writings he also brought back the magical reality of Poland's pre-war shtetl's.
His most famous works were The Street of Crocodiles and the Hourglass Sanatorium. In 1986, the Street of Crocodiles was made into a puppet animation bythe Quay Brothers and the short film made by them, was decsribed by Terry Gilliam a one of the ten best animated films of all time.
Bruno Schulz's literary and artistic talents have also been recognised internationally, for example in 1992, UNESCO announced the Year of Bruno Shulz on the 100th anniversary of his birth.
This year, in recognistion of Schulz's talents as an artist and writer, Poland made 2022 the Year of Bruno Schulz.

Imagine what more he would have done had he lived. I believe he should be known worldwide by all.

I have an edition of The Booke [sic] of Idolatry edited by Jerzy Ficowski and published by Interpress Publishers in Warsaw in 1988, which I must have purchased in New York City and probably not long after publication...And I bought the book specifically because of the Quays' Street of Crocodiles, and in turn became fascinated with Schulz. They've carried & spread his memory & work for ages, now...
