Alexander Sroczyński (born in 1953) is an eccentric artist, animator, illustrator and author of satirical drawings. He graduated from the Department of Graphic Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow and then from animated and experimental film direction at the Łódź film school. Since 1981 he has made animated films, including 8 i 3/4 (1981), Film animowany (1982), Apteczka pierwszej pomocy (1983) or Nigdy więcej wojny! (1987), which received many awards in Poland and abroad. His works combine the black humour, macabre and pastiche of various film conventions: erotic films (Ani be!... ani me!... z udziałem Audrey Hepburn, 1984), classical sci-fi (2013 Odyseja kosmiczna, 1985) or even the American underground of the 1960s (With a Light, 1986). He cooperates regularly with many magazines - the legendary Szpilki and Playboy in Poland, The New York Times and many others in the USA, where he has lived since 1989.
