Analiza gatunkowo-estetyczna „Pomostu” Chrisa Markera. Interpretacja filmu jako przykładu „kina możliwego”

The paper discusses the French science fiction short film The Jetty (La Jetée) by Chris Marker. Made in 1962, the black and white film is constructed almost entirely from still photos. The author first gives a summary of the plot and then considers the genre and aesthetic syncretism of Marker’s work. Musical, rhythmical and visual aspects of the movie are also covered. Using Waldemar Frąc’s theory of “possible cinema”, whose main ideas are presented in the article, various possible ways of interpreting the film are shown.
