STS '58
1959
The first of nine short films made by Agnieszka Osiecka during her studies at the Film School. The cinematographer for the exercise was Jerzy Woźniak, then a third-year student of cinematography. The names of the authors of the short film and its title are revealed in the opening credits. However, these are not traditional credits on a blackboard. Someone's hand moves chalk across the board, decorating the title with a flower. The nature of the opening credits, which together with the closing credits form an integral part of the film, a kind of narrative bracket, introduces the viewer to the mood of the short film - a light, funny and unpretentious story.
