Dokument kreacyjny. Przeciw bierności poznawczej i minimalizmowi formy
Creative Document. Against Cognitive Passivity and Minimalism of Form

Summary/Abstract: The text is a presentation of the so-called creative trend in the Polish documentary film of the 1970s. It includes such artists as Grzegorz Królikiewicz, Marek Koterski, Piotr Szulkin, Bogdan Dziworski and Wojciech Wiszniewski (the most radical artist). The author discusses the issue of a creative documentary that focused on films involved in social, political and ethical matters. Individual stories presented by the creators were to exemplify cultural mechanisms, universal existential issues. And all this in a completely new form, far from the features of direct cinema. The purpose of the article is to present the author’s belief that this type of imaging (then innovative) should be undertaken more frequently in a Polish ethnographic document.
