>> films between 1930 and 1937 in Warsaw
>> that rank among the greatest of European avant-garde: Pharmacy,
>> Europa, Moment Musical, Short Circuit and The
>> Adventure of a Good Citizen. Whereas only the last three films
>> survived the war, a remake of Pharmacy (1930, b/w,
>> silent, 3 minutes) was produced in Budapest in 2001 under the
>> direction of award winning animator and film writer
