We invite you to a unique artistic event taking place on April 24, 2026, from 16:45 to 18:00 in the cinema hall of the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School of the University of Silesia in Katowice, as part of the Węgiel Film Festival.
Alongside competition screenings and accompanying events, the festival program also includes special presentations showcasing the artistic work of creators affiliated with the university.
One of these will be a presentation of a work by a faculty member of our department – prof. Ryszard Czernow
Duch materii is a sonovisual composition situated at the intersection of photography, animation, and video art, based on the earlier project “Martwe z natury.” Through the animation of digital images and a carefully designed sound layer, the work takes on a quasi-film form, creating an immersive experience focused on the transformation of matter and the role of time.
