What a relief to find a version with the original audio!
It looks like a vivid dream. The author was able to remember and tell. And someone made the animation.
*Everything about this film is just beyond majestic.*
I dont get it can you explain
An amazing visual feast of animation!
I sensed as I viewed the story that I was watching a newer kind of story telling, so artful and meaningful.
what does it mean? I can't really interpret this
@@resiknoiro7506 It is based on short story (never translated to english) written by polish sci-fi and fantasy author Jacek Dukaj. The story takes place in the distant future. The main character is a catholic priest from Earth who arrives on the asteroid to investigate the site of miraculous healings. In the past, a lander crashed on an asteroid, one of the cosmonauts gave his life so that the rest would survive. On the basis of his dedication, the cult of Izmir (the asteroid is called Izmirad) was created.. A cathedral was built at the site of his death. The main material for its construction was crystal, which reproduced itself like a plant or fungus. Hence the appearance of this cathedral reminiscent of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona (Dukaj's main inspiration). As a result of the crystal poisoning, the priest cannot escape from the asteroid, which is getting further and further away and it is impossible to return to earth. At the very end, the priest transforms into part of the cathedral. Before he dies, he sees her inhabitants - ghosts or an alien life form. He joins them and moves away into the darkness of space.
A great CG visual story with stirring sounds about the material used for an alien cathedrals construction.
Ребята, смысл в том, что
каждый из нас, как и наши предки
делает своей жизнью вклад
в строительство храма человечества
без капли пафоса
Да это так
реализация указанного замысла так себе, если честно, если этот замысел вообще тут используется. слишком натянуто. вообще это по мотивам указанного рассказа. никакого "Храма человечества" здесь нет. просто фантазия на тему. трудно искать черную кошку в темной комнате, особенно, если ее там нет. (с)
@@sergeyn6269
возражений нет
рассказ не читал
сказал, что вижу
Возможно и так. Но храм этот духовный, не материальный.
А возможно это пришел галактический рассвет и человеки пробудились.
все вы инструмент, и строите не храм, а хоромы власть-имущим))))
Wow, what an epic work of art!
That was thought provoking and awesome....every aspect!
The soundtrack on this, is amazing
Originally saw this on the Animation Show DVD like fifteen years ago or has it been longer, a cathedral that immobilizes explorers all due to the proximity of a neutron star of some sort is still to this day one hell of a novel concept, fossilization from first light:)
I see huge inspiration from Beksiński art :))) Thats good
I saw that, too! Like one of his paintings come to life.
Yea, clearly it is. I don't know why no credit is given.
I want more! When I write this what I am watching may be short but I loved it. I watched 3 times, will wait for awhile and watch again on a much larger screen. It will be glorious.
Да конечно, только побольше косяка с марихуаной покури и будет ещё больше.
@@MORPEH34 so true
Wow. The visuals are amazing.
Absolutely love the animation and the storyline
Well worth Academy Award nomination. Wonderful, fantastic, emotive, brilliant.
Тоже наркоман?
I just wonder why this movie is liked by everyone except Russians. 99% of their comments are very unfavorable to the author. Did they not understand the message at all?
Stunning! The film gave me a feeling of reverence so strong I felt as if i was standing in the cathedral. I also find it intriguing that the other tributes seemed peaceful and serene, they didn't give off a "i just got murdered by a tree"vibe at all.Beautiful film , Congratulations!
my polish teacher give this as a homework to write abt it its shitty
I remember being blown away by the original when I saw this in the '90s (Oscar shorts then, as I recall), but could never find it to show people. Thanks for this remake!
Isn't this the original?
how did you see this in 90's, and the film was created in 2002?
Katedra ( his correct name) was created in 2002 not '90 bro.
Amazing artistic masterpiece!
Beautiful piece!
WOW! So creative .... AMAZING!
I remember watching this in the "Animation Showç collection a looong time ago. Glad to see it still holds up
Just fabulous!
Amazing video loved every minute. Thank you.
I remember this. I watched it back in 2003 and kept the original on my HD.
Truly original. Excellent!
Amazing and fascinating imagination.
Thanks for the upload! I have been looking for this video for a long time.
This has been on my favourites list since it came out in 'the old days' Then it was called 'Kathedra' I believe....! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah I'm noticing the name changes on a lot of the older early 2000 shorts. It could be translation and all. Idk
The original title is "Katedra," which is just Polish for "Cathedral."
@@Kodaemon Got it
Could you explain the idea behind the video plot?
@@alexanderlevakin9001 It is inspired by the short story of the same name by Jacek Dukaj. "Plot" of this little pearl is basically its own thing. You can interpret it in many ways though I like to think it's about our relation to our own past and culture.
Wow...this was beautiful!! Stunning animation.
Really good animation, music & short story. 👌
Remember watching this in 2003, 1st year uni, as part of an animation course in Hull, UK. They played this before we watched Zatoichi. Damn, almost 20 years ago... my god.
Beautiful work. The symbology of it is beyond amazing!
I'm obviously an idiot; I don't get it. :-/
@@ddrew1973 It's by believing in roses that we make them bloom
@@ddrew1973 and also, if you want to understand more of this film, just read the short novel katedra
Я так поняла, что каждый из нас оставляет свои корни, и тем самым строится жизнь, мост в будущее.
If you would of said, The symbology of it is beyond words... I would have asked to explain yourself.
H.H.R. Giger is written all over this . Beautifully done . And you can see the " Engineers " here too .
Or Zdzislaw Beksinski
Incredible concept. Excellent job. Aloha from Hawaii.
Majestic excellence.
💢💢💢 incredible 🎥
What was the meaning?
коротко о видео: кто-то в 2002-м году решил повыпендриваться своими талантами в создании крутого графония.
Русские комменты самые... короче, по существу ))))
@@mazaphaka123 Ну так и есть ведь)
Этому видео лет 15 минимум .
А, вру, похоже 20.
Вы на дату получения награды посмотрите
@@ashadynet Если вы внимательно читали мой комментарий, то увидите, что я это прекрасно понимаю. Т.к. не зря упомянул 2002-й год. Но мой коммент был ведь не об этом, а о том, что смысла никакого в видео нет, так же как нет предыстории и смысла. Нам просто продемонстрировали технические возможности и скилл разработчиков.
What a beautiful trip
Awesome concept! Very nice.
Free, exacerbated, artistic, something really creative.. which we cannot say of much of the short videos sadly..
Magnificent!
Excellent story line.
Really cool animation and story 🌌
Oooooh, now to watch it again !
Incroyable!!!!
Pretty incredible.
Wow! Very cool.
beautiful ...
Почитала комментарии и не нашла ни одного, кто бы сказал о том, как это страшно. Я увидела здесь человека, который отдал жизнь за величественную и ужасную идею, и это очень меня напугало.
На счёт идеи не знаю. Но вы правы, очень странно и страшно!
Это называется жертвенность. Но вы правы, к ней не все готовы.
It was kinda scary.. But its fictional!!
По моему он был не в курсе того, что с ним произойдёт.
Его попросту одурачили, обманули, а после смерти включили в пантеон как бы мучеников и героев - разве не так?
Verry nice effects & music
Whoa! 10/10 👍✌ Thanks Kis Kis. UK
When he ignited his Gandalf staff I was expecting a horde of Orcs to descend from the pillars.
very well done and interesting
I enjoyed reading Heavy Metal magazines in Germany in the late seventies, reminded me of them. Excellent.
Schwermetall ;)
Was a long time subscriber to Heavy Metal. I sure wish I still had them.
Even before those, there were Vampirella and some other 'horror' comics in the '70s that truly rocked. I remember teachers at school berating me for reading those, and treating me as though I had some sort of complex; I just got a kick out of the fantastic artwork and the interesting ideas presented therein. Richard Corben's work was truly amazing (IMHO), but he had plenty of company...I believe he recently passed away...RIP.
For me, the greatest animation I have ever seen! It portrays the powerful imagery of depressive realism and the dystopian impact of religion!
Whoa, and I thought a sunburn was bad!
This was just great
Jak na tamte lata kiedy to Bagiński stworzył to do dziś animacja powala
I used to have a RUclips music video featuring this film, but it was set to a cover of the Pink Floyd tune Celestial voices. Eventually it was taken down due to copyright problems.
I just now stumbled across this video. Never thought I'd see it again.
I remember watching this on Atomfilms!
Wow!!!!! This was epic!!
А в чем смысл? Снято классно.
В графике, на то время...
Смысл как в квадрате малевича, один талпойоп сказал шедевр, остальнве решили быть в тренде
@@andreymetko3320 судя по тому, как персонаж ногами двигает, я бы тут на графику не сильно ставил. :)
Взгляд на лёгкие курильщика в эпицентре разрушения и их восстановление как и скорость роста клетки.
Una obra de arte.!!
Excellent
Wow! That was mesmerizing. Could not stop watching it.
Amazed!!
Super
Wow that was awesome
It deserves a film more longer. Your sin is being too short. Or is it your virtue? Either way, it's incredibly original.

This was done with 3Ds Max with the aid of Brazil as rendering engine.
The guy who made this movie is now one of producers on Witcher.
Wow, epic 😍
I'd love to c what beat this out...this is Outstanding!
Bravo !
Grandioso short film
Thats beautiful. In a very Gothic sort of way
Would like to see this redone in ten years, it's mesmerizing now just think of then
I remember watching this way back! Just as epic back then! :o
Wow!
Tomasz Baginski film. From Poland. Thank you, countryman.
That explains why all this art reminds me of Zadislav Beksinski's workm Tomasz must be a fan!
WOW!
I felt cold and alone placing myself in the character's shoes when this first started
Almost appears as it was intentional and one after another goes to the edge to give life for a spanning bridge? Probably overanalyzing and it was just a trap.
I agree, definitely feels premeditated. Seems like a place where the priests go to rest or something similar.
My cold dark tower seems so bright, I swear it must be Heaven's light!
Во тьме бродил и был свободен. Свет показал его сущность. Никчёмный кирпич в чужой архитектуре
Ну что керпичь, то да. Но собор то назагляденье, а так прожил и в яму как мусор(

He came for answers and found them.
Now he's part of someone else's answer.
Bullshit. He was devoured by the 'cathedral'.
@@andrewstrongman305 ? same thing
I disagree. For me it feels like he went to the cathedral specifically to become a part of it. He didn't look for any answers like you seem to see it.
thank - you .

Om Shanti
Reality and parallel dimensions and Nature are really amazing and adventurous concepts....The pain...real pain and greif..amongst us...has its own stories
..This entire World,Nature and Shivbaba have infinite Stories....he is an amazing story teller...every part of which is reality,for he is really Guardians of Guardians... Supreme Father...jinki palako ke hum jaise tare hain....people have so much silly pain....and there Tapasyas....are just based on grief of lost partners....then its really the time for Real Healing spiritual energies to get activated....for we all are just reflections of each other....The price of Real freedom and peace and true love is really a problem resolver,for the Nature and Cosmos to rebreath...and find its reflection from our very much presence....🚼💫🌠🌟❄️🌪️🌍🌎🌏💖♥️💜💙💚💛❤️🏵️🍁🌈💦🌧️💧🌦️🌿😄👣👣👣💦😅⚡✨😍
..... wow..... haven´t seen this before..... really good work, thanks for it.....:)
Puro arte.!!!
Totally unexpected ending! Was a good one :)
ça fait vraiment penser à Moebius ;-) it really makes you think of Moebius ; -) Magnifique !
ahhh its always nice to see art based on the famous polish artist. FYI look up the Polish artist of Nightmares if interested his name i don't remember
Beksinksi art and a Metroid Prime/Ergo Proxy soundtrack? That's a good combo.
Life comes from the earth, and the life returns to the earth.
Can anyone please answer: which programs are used to create such animated films like this? Please.
I had planned to visit some cathedrals while visiting France. By precaution I changed my mind....
