Józef Hen on the film still


In front of the cinemas there were display cabinets with film stills. If a film was for adults only, I would create my own version based on those stills, build the action and then lie to my friends that I had been to see it in the cinema.

Stefan Kurzyp on the film still


Film still showed primarily all relationships between main characters and their emotions and that was the way in which he presented the history of the movie.

Quotation

Marek Bieńczyk on the film still

Contemplation of the film still belonged (...) to those magical activities and chosen moments (...) A still - selected and petted, touched and stroked by the hand, removed and put back in place in turn - was like a secret gateway to the future.
