Stanisław Tym, Zdzisław Maklakiewicz
A stowaway sneaks aboard a ship departing on a cruise down the Vistula River. The captain takes him for a Communist Party cultural coordinator and the intruder gladly adapts to his new role, immediately setting to work at manipulating the passengers and crew into silly and vaguely humiliating games. Before long, Tym has got everyone under his thumb and created his own comedic dictatorship.
The Cruise
Każdemu to czego mu wcale nie trzeba
Grzegorz Królikiewicz
Alina Socha, Andrzej Kowalewski
Fragmented and chaotic. Reality in Królikiewicz's works is usually incoherent, in a state of disintegration, permanently damaged, painfully marked by history. The moral and cultural crisis is clearly visible. You can even see it… by the swimming pool.
Everyone Gets What They Don't Need
Bilans kwartalny
Krzysztof Zanussi

She meets a well-off former classmate, married to an American. Then she meets Jacek and starts contemplating possibilities of a new start. She discovers love for the first time, but turns to old ways rather than to break loose.

Excuse Me, Is It Here They Beat Up People?
Pozar! Pozar! Cos nareszcie dzieje sie
Marek Piwowski
Piwowski's documentary debut is a satirical reportage, referring to the poetics of the Czech school at the time. The starting point was an order from a film studio to join a project proposed by the Germans: what do teenagers in your country do on Saturday at 5 pm? Images from the lives of teenagers from Kętrzyn make up a contrasting slice of free time in a small town. Firemen maneuvering to start a fire outside working hours, bodybuilders training, choir rehearsal, dancing in Hitler's former headquarters...
