Their work reflected something of the forms and ideas of Dadaism and Constructivism of the period, but what distinguished them most throughout their lives was their remarkable inventiveness and taste for technical experimentation. This was evident in every field they explored: photography, literature, art, design and publishing, as well as cinema. They were the most important makers of avant-garde film in pre-war Poland. After settling in London in the early 1940s, they made two films under the aegis of the Polish government in exile, including their first British film, \u003cem\u003eCalling Mr Smith\u003c\/em\u003e (1943), an appeal to open the eyes and minds of the British public to Nazi atrocities in Europe. In London, they became key figures in the post-war cultural scene, founding Gaberbocchus Press, an important small publishing house that published the first English editions of Jarry, Adler, Apollinaire, Schwitters, Queneau, among others, while writing novels, poems, philosophical treatises, operas, and creating paintings and theatre sets. They died in London in 1988.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stefan Themerson, Franciszka Themerson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56788901069131,"sku":"SQ0723053","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/3034\/9643\/files\/DVD--The_Films_of_Stefan_and_Franciszka_Themerson.webp?v=1773411725","url":"https:\/\/re-voir.com\/en\/products\/lux-films-stefan-and-franciszka-themerson","provider":"Re:Voir","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
