A young tailor, in love with the magic and art of theater, is quickly disillusioned in Kieslowski's narrative film Personnel (Personel, 1975, 70 mins, Color, Beta SP). Kieslowski uncovers an unsettling undercurrent of society in From the Point of View of the Night Porter (Z punktu widzenia nocnego portiera, 1977, 16 mins, Color, 35mm), an interview with a porter in favor of, among other things, public hangings. Kieslowski shot the film on the East German film stock Orwo, notorious for its distortion of color; “the porter is a caricature of humanity,” he wrote, “and we wanted the color to underscore even more the caricature-like world that surrounded him.” Re-creating the entire world of a Polish ballet school, Seven Women of Different Ages (Siedem kobiet w ro_nym wieku, 1978, 15 mins, B&W, 35mm) focuses on one female for each day of the week. Interviews with Poles, aged one to 100, form the entertaining Talking Heads (Gadaj_ce g_owy, 1980, 14 mins, B&W, 35mm), while Railway Station (Dworzec, 1980, 13 mins, B&W, 35mm) documents Warsaw's largest train station.
