Ciała niezawodowców. O wczesnych filmach Janusza Kondratiuka
Amateur bodies. About Janusz Kondratiuk’s early films

Summary/Abstract: The article concerns early works of Janusz Kon­dratiuk through the perspective of images of un­professional actors’ bodies. This feature, the pre­occupation with “amateur corporality”, should be considered one of the most characteristic for the filmmaker’s original style. Within the direc­tor’s filmography, untrained bodies of amateur actors function as crucial vehicle of meanings weaved into the structure of particular movies as figure of outside reality performing beyond the context of the film. The author of this ar­ticle reconstructs creative strategies Kondrati­uk typically uses, embedding early works of the director within wider context of Polish culture of the 1960s and 70s, selected phenomena of European cinema and amateur acting theory.
