ZATOCZKA is a live cinema tribute to Krzysztof Komeda, the prolific Polish jazz and film soundtrack composer, first presented by the Polish Film Festival & The Usefulness of Art at Fed Square, Melbourne, Sep 2019.

“Adam Simmons and Jean Poole have brought their unique takes on jazz and film to create this original cinematic journey. Inspiration has been drawn from a range of Komeda’s evocative and iconic compositions, resulting in this curiously Aussie take on the classic river journey.” – Event flyer.
