Long before Immoral Tales and The Beast, fine artist turned animator Walerian Borowczyk initially made his name with dazzlingly original short films. This edition includes Astronauts, The Concert, Grandma's Encyclopaedia, Renaissance, Angels' Games, Joachim's Dictionary, Rosalie, Gavotte, Diptych, The Phonograph, The Greatest Love of All Time and Scherzo Infernal.
In 1967, Borowczyk unveiled "a feature-length animated film for mature adults”, Theatre of Mr & Mrs Kabal, about a grotesquely mismatched but strangely loving couple who inhabit a desert full of strange flora and fauna.
