Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas: Filip Bajon’s Student Etudes

The author addresses the workshop etudes made by Filip Bajon, which he directed during his studies at the Lodz Film School. Comparing Contribution to the Th eory of Linguistics from 1972, And others from 1973, and Blacks from 1973, she notes both a consistency in style and a similarity in leitmotifs between these and the director’s later works. These is, above all, a profound refl ection on the issue of passing, of both inanimate objects and human existence, and also an attempt to capture causal changes by showing characters in situations that are groundbreaking for them.
