Toccata in D minor (1994)

Directed by Piotr Muszalski

Animation, Music

An animated film in loose material set to music by Johann Sebastian Bach. The imagery in the film is inspired by the magnificent interiors of Gothic cathedrals (Reims, Chartres). The composition of the film follows the principle of viewing a Gothic cathedral: first, the author shows the facade, then "enters" the interior and shows the lower part of the building emerging from the shadows. Then the camera focuses on the columns and pillars, the niches with reliefs, to reach the magnificent rose window crowning the nave. The bright light falling into the interior makes the real shapes disappear and is replaced by light, a symbol of lasting spiritual values.
