The Cross and the Axe (Krzyż i Topór) 51 years old

Krzyżtopór Castle in Ujazd plays the lead in this short film made on the basis of Stanisław Janicki’s idea. Dziworski managed to capture the appearance and atmosphere of the castle ruins in spectacular scenes and applied an interesting solution for the commentary. The photographs are accompanied by a folk ballad about the castle history performed by the village choir from Iwaniska.
