Mountaineer Dances (1935)

Overview

A film depicting traditional highland dances and the charm of the Podhale landscape. The filmmaker, Eugeniusz Cękalski, was associated with the environment of the film avant-garde, hence the use of treatments unusual for a documentary film. "Highland Dances" is not only a recording of folk dancing, but above all an artistic reportage, showing dancers from different perspectives, using close-ups showing the beauty of regional costumes neatly interspersed with views of the Tatra outdoors. The film featured the Dance Ensemble of the Folk Theater Association.
