A Polish Winter was written/directed/produced/animated/music composed by Shane Sheils and Paula Sheils.
It tells the story of a young boy who discovers an abandoned train cattle carriage in Eastern Europe. Upon entering inside and finding a discarded doll, memories are triggered of the Holocaust and the murder of countless children in Nazi death camps in occupied Poland.
The film was made using mostly Open Source software such as The Gimp, Blender 3d and Audacity.
