Wojciech Wiszniewski
1967 - 7 min - 35 mm - Noir & Blanc - Pologne

One of Wiszniewski’s first and most famous undergraduate short films, witch seems to foreshadow the director’s death. The film does not bear great resemblance to Wiszniewski’s later films.
Its main character does not belong to any particular community, and the film does not refer to the documentary genre, political issues or collective consciousness. It attempts to illustrate the subjective states of a character through expressionistic photography, hardcore jazz and associative editing. The sudden freeze-frame portraits will become the trait of Wiszniewski’s individual style.
