Anilogue 2015: The Magic Mountain

Director: Anca Damian

Competition Features
Not recommended for audiences under 16.

In the form of an animated docu-drama, the biography of Adam Jacek Winker wonders through nearly half a century of history. A Polish refugee in Paris, Adam lived a boundless life, with aspirations to change the world. His adventurous life takes a radical turn in the ’80s, as he envisions himself a knight of the 20th century and leaves France to fight with both amateurism and courage, alongside commander Massoud against the Soviets in Afghanistan. On the eve of September 11th 2001, his fate mirrors the individual’s destiny in relation to the unfolding of history and the introspection of a man on his own fate.
