Description of the speech

WORKING ON THE DIRECTOR’S NOTEBOOKS AT THE ANDRZEJ WAJDA ARCHIVE

Given that the conference is dedicated to film archives – I’m going to start with a short introduction of the Andrzej Wajda Archive in Kraków. How was it established, what does it consist of, and how does it function? Afterwards I’m going to focus on my current work, which makes use of the most valuable part of the archive: it’s the editorial release of the private Notebooks, in which Wajda has described the current events in his life: his work, plans, meetings, dreams…  I’m going to talk about the editorial release (as part of my collaboration with Agnieszka Morstin), subsequent to my work.
