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.
