Światowid Cinema in Elbląg invites you to the third screening as part of the "A Short History of Polish Cinema" series. On 20 April at 6 p.m., viewers will see Janusz Morgernstern's excellent film "Good Bye, Till Tomorrow".
She, a Frenchwoman, daughter of a diplomat, recently come of age. He was a Pole, a theatre artist, until recently, a student. They meet by chance in the summer in Gdańsk, where he looks after the student theatre Tik-Tak. Marguerite is a modern, practical girl who travels with her father and, it seems, does not suffer from the frequent change of places and circle of friends. She is, in fact, very popular in Gdańsk. Jacek is a romantic young man who dreams of perfect love, resistant to mundane realities. They get close to each other for a while, despite the language barrier and their differing plans.
The film Tik-Tak theatre is the legendary Gdańsk student theatre Bim-Bom (1954-60), whose artistic supervisor was precisely Zbigniew Cybulski, then an actor at the Wybrzeże Theatre. The students of the Gdańsk University of Technology were joined by Bogumił Kobiela (co-author of the script with Cybulski and Wilhelm Mach) and students of the Higher School of Visual Arts: Jacek Fedorowicz and Wowo Bielicki. The film also starred Roman Polański in some episodes, and the music was composed by Krzysztof Komeda. The role of Marguerite was played by the famous "Tetetka", i.e. Teresa Tuszyńska, a non-professional actress, winner of the "Przekroj" competition for amateur actresses, a popular model of "Moda Polska". Janusz Morgenstern's directorial debut won awards at the Standford International Film Festival (1961) - for directing, and in Melbourne (1961) - for Jan Laskowski's cinematography.
The film is one of 10 pictures presented as part of the " A Short History of Polish Cinema" series. Each screening is preceded by an introduction in the form of a video lecture, which presents the silhouette of the filmmaker/creator, introduces the subject matter of the work and brings closer the political and social realities of its creation. By watching these films, from the key films of the Polish school of the 1950s and 1960s, through the mega-productions of the 1970s, to the cinema of moral unrest of the 1980s, we can get to know both the successive artistic currents and the image of the changing socio-economic and production reality of Polish cinema, and thus gain an insight into the Polish Imaginarium of the subsequent decades.
The series was initiated by Stowarzyszenie Kin Studyjnych Studyjnych (Association of Studio Cinemas). It is curated by Tomasz Kolankiewicz - a film expert and film historian, lecturer and presenter of lectures and talks on film, and Artistic Director of the Polish Film Festival in Gdynia.
