Poetyka „Święta” Zbigniewa Rybczyńskiego
The Poetics of „Holiday” by Zbigniew Rybczyński

Summary/Abstract: Marek Hendrykowski’s article contains an analysis and interpretation of the poetics of one of the early films by Zbigniew Rybczyński – “Holiday” (“Święto” 1976). Using the close reading method, the author carries out the reconstruction of the relationships between the sphere of form and the sphere of the content of this work, pointing to the important function of its aesthetic over-organization and the significance of its particular elements, especially set design, music, light, colour and rhythm. In conclusion, Hendrykowski writes: “The striking feature of the <<Holiday.>> (...) is director’s striving for a complex and complete, as far as possible, description of the values such as time and space, whilst trying to define one’s own place in the world. The proper object of Rybczyński’s artistic fascination is not any single objectsign or their freely developed set (collection) on the screen, but the structure of being human in the world”.
