Phantom

The film is an adaptation of the poem by Adam Mickiewicz under the same title published in 1823, as a text preceding the drama "Forefathers’ Eve" part II and "Forefathers’ Eve" part IV.

It is a touching story that in a poetic and dreamy way tells about an un happy love stronger than death.

I created the film in the traditional technique of stop motion puppet animation, which made it possible to give the film’s world extraordinary plasticity and aesthetics.
