Abstract
The editors of Kwartalnik Filmowy begin a series of reprints of archival articles from the journal’s first edition, published in 1951-1965. This project aims to recreate the history of Polish film thought and re-establish the most significant achievements of past authors, accompanied with a commentary that reconstructs the context of their work and situates them against contemporary trends in film theory and history. Marian Wimmer was an architect who also dealt with architectural and art theory. He was particularly interested in the problem of space, including film space. The author recapitulates his achievements in this field, pointing to his interest in the viewer’s position and the principles of reception and perception of a film work, which later developed in the cognitive and neoformalist trend of film theory. (Non-reviewed material).
