From the directors of Oscar-nominated ‘Loving Vincent’ (DK Welchman, Hugh Welchman) comes another stunning hand-painted animation, ‘The Peasants’ (Chlopi), based on a Nobel prize-winning novel by Wladyslaw Reymont.

Following on the success of their previous film Loving Vincent, which grossed $42 million at the box office, The Peasants will be produced in the same painting technique that won the hearts of fans around the world.

Polish Fashion Stories: Unexpected Encounter – Batik

The earliest known examples of Polish batiks appeared around 1903 at an exhibition in Kraków, when the artist Jan Bukowski presented furniture upholstered in textiles decorated with what was called then “a manner of Easter eggs” - it was before the term batik had even entered the Polish language. From this point, other Kraków artists began to further explore the technique and its possibilities.
