Holiday
The school etude Holiday opens with "dirty" shots of the TV screen, from which propaganda about the celebration of St. The frame returns as a chorus and, together with shots of fireworks, divides the story of the first St. Barbara's Day celebration in Bełchatów into sequences. The film has no commentary, none of the characters - the miners, their relatives or the mine management - speaks directly to the camera (except for the shots stylized on the materials of the TV Journal, in which the characters praise the organization and working conditions in the mine). We hear snippets of conversations, the buzz of St. Barbara's Day fun, music. The author's interpretation of reality results from the selection of the subjects of the shots and their specific juxtapositions.
