Klatki (dt. Cages ) is an animated short film by Miroslaw Kijowicz of 1966.
action
A man is sitting in his cell. The guard appears. He enters the cell and shows the prisoner a trick with triangles that he shapes into a hat. The prisoner ignores him. The guard brings more triangles into the cell and creates a structure from them. The prisoner looks at it and is asked by the guard to build a structure himself. After a while, the prisoner finishes and the guard claps. The prisoner forms a more imaginative structure and the guard transforms the white of the forms into black. The prisoner restores his version and a dispute ensues, as a result of which the guard smashes the structure. He then handcuffs the prisoner and leaves.
The prisoner begins to think in his cell. The words Cogito ergo sum and the names of great thinkers and artists of all time are formed. The word spirito also appears. The guard catches all words with a net, even names like Sinatra and individual letters. The prisoner gets angry and starts beating a drum taken from his chair. The guard takes it from him. Standing on the chair, the prisoner now wants to saw his cell bars, but the guard takes the saw and walks out of the cell. The saw in hand suddenly opens a new door behind him and a guard appears. The keeper's room was also just a cell, and even the new keeper's room turns out to be a cell that a new keeper enters. The cell and guard rooms are multiplying rapidly.
production
Klatki was animated with simple line drawings. Critics called the strips formed by the cage bars in connection with the content of the film an allusion to the concentration camps during the Nazi era . Kijowicz took up criticism of totalitarian systems in several short films.
