Etnograficzne zapiski Andrzeja Wajdy
The Ethnographic Notes by Andrzej Wajda

Summary/Abstract: While attending film courses Andrzej Wajda did not foresee himself as a director of feature films but considered the grotesque cinema and educational movies. The author recalls the director’s notes from 1948, made during his stay in Iłża, which he then used for his first documentary film Ceramika iłżecka (Pottery from Iłża, 1951). She also recalls a list made by Wajda in 1952, entitled Projekty filmów dokumentalnych (Projects of documentary films), containing 19 titles with several ethnographic projects.
