Music-video director Zbigniew Rybczynski (pronounced “Rib-chin-ski”) is a preposterously talented, tech-savvy maverick. Simultaneously breaking and making the rules of established filmmaking, Rybczynski earned his Hollywood rep in the early Eighties, creating mind-bending videos for John Lennon, Mick Jagger, and Grandmaster Flash. Rybczynski’s techniques-- pixilation or motion control photography-- set the tone for MTV’s early heyday and inspired decades of subsequent music-video artistes (Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze are amongst his disciples). Tonight, the Cinefamily and Rybczynski himself present a retrospective of the director’s groundbreaking shorts.
