synopsis

Standing in the middle of a television studio, the director of the film barks orders at the cameraman, who obediently listens. Alternating between three different cameras based on the cadence of the director’s instructions, we get a glimpse of how the whole filming process has been set up. Kwiek's performance was broadcast live on a show dedicated to the works of members from the Workshop of the Film Form (Warsztat Formy Filmowej).
