Zbigniew Rybcznski’s Media presented by Contraband Cinema

From the venue:

Zbigniew Rybczynski is in a class all his own. The Polish cinematographer, inventor, and creative mind behind the Academy Award-winning film Tango (making him the first of his countrymen to win an Oscar) can be described as one of entertainment’s greatest innovators. Known for leading the charge in HD technology, and owning several patents in Chroma Key software, Rybczynski’s legacy is seen today in the mind-altering aesthetics of filmmakers like Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) and Michel Gondry (The Science of Sleep). On Aug. 15, Contraband Cinema will screen Media, the first in a three-volume DVD series that explores Rybczynski early works.
