Grzegorz Jonkajtys

I wanted to do a post on the amazingly talented Polish artist Grzegorz Jonkajtys. What made me aware of him is the ridiculous good trailer for his short “ARK” or “ARKA” in Polish. While working on a short for the Warsaw studio, Platige Image, he walked along side thousands of burial shelves carved into walls of tunnels, and imagined being inside a large ship. “I thought of a huge oil tanker with networks inside of what looks like graves that are platforms for people.” From that vision he developed a script about an ark carrying the only survivors on earth of an unknown virus. Six years later this film was nominated for a Golden Palm for Best Short Film at the Cannes Film Festival, received a Prix Ars Electronica Award of Distinction, won Best of Show at SIGGRAPH over 905 submissions, and because of the SIGGRAPH win, is in the running for an Oscar nomination. Visit his site HERE.  I am trying to find details on a dvd release.
