Synopsis

Les Jeux des Anges is an animated short that presents abstract forms within a setting evocative of a concentration camp created by the universe. Based on a series of paintings by Polish artist and filmmaker Walerian Borowczyk, the film leads the viewer into a nightmarish and sinister labyrinth world. Featuring imagery reminiscent of Bosch and Ernst, along with an abstract soundtrack, the film evokes unspeakable horrors lurking at the heart of Borowczyk's masterpiece. Borowczyk described the film himself as "A report on the city of angels."

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
