„Nie ma już dzisiaj Żydów w Brańsku...”. Dokumentalne obrazy żydowskiego sztetla w filmach Mariana Marzyńskiego i Jolanty Dylewskiej

The author compares two documentaries about Jewish shtetls in Poland before World War II: Shtetl. The Journey Home by Marian Marzyński and Po-lin. Fragments of Remembering by Jolanta Dylewska. Both films are presented in the context of the literature that inspired them, of the texts that these films refer to and of the work that was based on one of the films. The analyzed films represent two methods of introducing traditional Jewish cities in Polish cinema: the first method involves interviews with the living former inhabitants of the cities; the second – using footage from a film archive.
