Summary/Abstract: The author describes the first stage of Alicja Helman’s aca-demic career, which took place in the 1960s and was devot-ed to reflection on film music. Her education in musicologyand film studies allowed her to take a unique and in-depthlook at what occurred on the border between these twofields. She was a student of professor Zofia Lissa, who dealtwith the aesthetics of film music. Helman, who was pri-marily a film enthusiast, although she valued the achieve-ments of her mentor, went her own way. She included herfirst thoughts on this subject in several texts written forthe first edition of Kwartalnik Filmowy. She then devel-oped these concepts in three books: Rola muzyki w filmie[The Role of Music in Film] (1964), Na ścieżce dźwiękowej [Onthe Soundtrack] (1968) and Dźwięczący ekran [The SoundingScreen] (1969). Her interests then broadened considerablyand she took up film theory, but the musical aspect wasalways close to her. (Non-reviewed material).
