We specialise in art documentaries, written and presented by the Sunday Times art critic, Waldemar Januszczak. ZCZ films currently has a BRAND NEW production coming to Sky Arts from the 30th September 2025 at 9pm called 'Art's Most'. Award winning art critic Waldemar Januszczak explores three of art’s most controversial and important subjects in an adventurous international journey. Art’s Most Ero
tic sees him travelling from Japan to India to find the most explicit art ever made and to ask why art has always been so interested in sex. In Art’s Most Horrific Waldemar confronts terrifying displays of blood, gore and death, and wonders why art is so obsessed with horror. Finally, in Art’s Most Satanic he goes looking for the Devil, the ultimate shape-shifter, who keeps popping up in art in a wicked assortment of disguises. OUR FILMS:
