Wanda Gościmińska. A Waver

A staged documentary by Wojciech Wiszniewski, one of the best works of this talented, prematurely deceased director, whose most important films were produced at the Educational Films Studio. The formally original, creative documentary was based on the story of Wanda Gościmińska, a famous Łódź textile worker, a symbol and product of the era of socialist propaganda of success.

Referring to this figure, a socialist-realist statue from the 1950s, Wiszniewski exposes the falsity and hypocrisy of those times and the mechanisms by which man becomes a tool of ideological manipulation. The cinematographer of this intriguing film is Oscar® winner Zbigniew Rybczyński.
