Location: Poland / Switzerland		If anyone's interested, further to a brief discussion regarding non-English literature in another thread, I recommend this:

A sneak peak at a WIP translation of an incredibly successful story called 'the Cathedral' by Jacek Dukaj can be found here:
http://dukaj.fantastyka.art.pl/utwory/TheCathedral.html

The story in itself is mesmerizing, but it has also been an ispiration for a SIGGRAPH awarded and Oscar-nominated animation short by Tomasz Baginski, it too titled 'the Cathedral'. Once you see this short film (no worries = no dialogues), you're half way there to sense the incredible mood of the story.

Another example:

The same company and animators have also prepared cinematics for the upcoming computer RPG titled 'The Witcher' (coming out worldwide next month). The game is based on a series of short stories by award-winning Polish fantasy author Andrzej Sapkowski. I can't seem to find any good English translations of Sapkowski's works on the net, but at least this short film may be a fine introduction:

Have fun and if there is anything like that (that is cool animations based on even cooler SF&F stories) on the other side of the pond, let me know.
