The City on Islands (1958)

A documentary tackling the subject of living in the ruins of Warsaw. This austere portrait of the capital of Poland consists of static images: the camera is positioned to show the new city "logo" - the Palace of Culture and Science. However, after 13 years of rebuilding, Warsaw looks empty.
