I guess everyone used to feel like a character from the favourite film or at least played them in their mind’s eye. B Team incorporates scenes from famous films in order to present a student of the Academy in Warsaw struggling with his degree piece, with tongue in cheek. In this way, I have attempted to show the specificity of both student community at the Academy, and the Academy itself – not without elements of absurd.
In the film fragments of the following films have been used: Man of Iron, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, A Fistful of Dollars, Rambo.
