DirectorEugeniusz Cekalski

1935
8 min
Documentary

A film depicting traditional Krakow dances and the charm of the landscape of the Krakow area. The filmmaker, Eugeniusz Cękalski, was associated with the environment of the film avant-garde, hence the use of treatments unusual for a documentary film. "Krakow Dances" is not only a recording of folk dancing, but above all an artistic reportage, showing dancing couples from different perspectives, using close-ups and slow-motion shots, which allowed to expose the dynamics of movement and the beauty of regional costumes. The film featured the Folk Theater Association's Dance Ensemble.
