We are continuing the project of digitizing and making available the Archive of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Work! With the support of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage under the Digital Culture program, we are working on editing scripts, script breakdowns, photographs, posters, and many other materials related to the films “Three Colours”, “Dekalog”, and “Blind Chance”.
This year we are making available:
– 2,000 photographs
– 1,909 pages of scripts and script breakdowns (79 archival units)
– 30 film posters
We are making these unique resources available online at:
– www.kieslowski.com.pl
– www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl
– artsandculture.google.com
This digital collection will allow everyone – students, researchers, artists, film enthusiasts, and admirers of Kieślowski’s work – to explore the legacy of one of the most outstanding Polish directors. It is a project that connects memory and tradition with the present, preserving invaluable records of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s creative process for future generations. Each archival item is a part of a larger story about art, about human experience, and about cinema that shaped the sensitivity of audiences around the world.
At the same time, we are publishing a folder in PDF containing three texts by Professor Mikołaj Jazdon, a film scholar collaborating with the Krzysztof Kieślowski Archive. The publication discusses how Krzysztof Kieślowski worked on Decalogue and whom he envisioned in the casts of his films, as well as unproduces scripts that were never brought to completion, and Krzysztod Kieślowski’s work for Television Theatre – an exceptionally interesting chapter of his creative output.
This is a thoughtful read for everyone who wishes to better understand Krzysztof Kieślowski’s creative process and explore an archive that continues to surprise.
