Guwahati, May 21,
Internationally acclaimed Polish film maker Krzysztof Kieœlowski’s extraordinary movie ‘A Short Film About Killing’ will be screened at Guwahati Press Club on Friday (25 May, 3 pm). Carrying a strong message against the capital punishment by different countries, the feature film was released in 1988. It has cinematography by S³awomir Idziak and music by Zbigniew Preisner.
It may be noted that no European director of recent years was admired as Kieœlowski. Of course, he had to wait many years for recognition outside Poland. The hour-long movie was originally made for Polish
television. Based on an emotional story, the film was instrumental in the abolition of death penalties in Poland long back.
