• Title:
  "I've remembered Mietek like that" Władysław Ślesicki. "The Rafts Sail" (1962)
• Creator:

• Description:
  The article That’s How I’ve Remembered Mietek aims to throw light on the origins and the final artistic form of Władysław Ślesickis documentary The Rafts Sail (1962). The movie depicts the story of a young Mazurian boy named Mietek, who crosses the line between childhood and adulthood (when, as a raftsman, he floats timber down the river). This film was probably the first time when the director’s poetic attitude towards filmmaking resulted in such a sublime documentary portrait, devoid of any words. Looking back, The Rafts Sail (awarded the Lion of San Marco at the Venice Film Festival in 1962) can be perceived as a clear symptom of Ślesickis masterpieces, such as Before Leaves Fall [1964] or The Family of Man [1966].;
