Andrzej Wajda, who turned 80 in March 2006, had celebrated 50 years of filmmaking not a long time ago. The text contains two conversations Aleksandra Zaganczyk held with Andrzej Wajda on his 1978 film 'Rough Treatment' in 2003.

The history of Andrzej Wajda's preparations to adapt Stefan Zeromski's novel 'The Spring to Come' is one of the most dramatic chapters of the 'non-existent history' of Poland's cinema. Forty years passed from the first mention in which the director admits that he has an idea to adapt the novel to the note in which he finally gives it up. Five scripts were prepared in the period. Wajda claimed that 'The Spring to Come' should be his major film. However, it was not made. Telling the story of the unrealized idea and explaining why Wajda did not carry out the project, the author fills in the gaps in the history of Polish cinema, including Wajda's artistic biography, and makes special comments on the issues.

The article was based on letters preserved in the Andrzej Wajda Archive, containing proposals of assorted scenarios, themes and problems which the authors of the correspondence wished to bring to his attention. The first letter comes from 1958, and the last one - from this year. In view of the fact that it is simply impossible to discuss the whole collection in a brief article, the authoress selected examples from 1958-89. The year 1989 - a time of great changes in the life of Poland and the Poles - comprises a caesura involving a systemic transformation, an end to censorship, an opening onto the world, and new social problems, all vividly reflected in letters addressed to Andrzej Wajda. Archival folios entitled Proposals contain 168 letters from the examined period. The article intends to show the manner in which the Polish 'average spectator' perceived Andrzej Wajda as an artist, a Pole and a person. The choice of the featured proposals omits men of letters and professional authors of screenplays, both Polish and foreign.

The authoress describes an exhibition held at the Ethnographic Museum in Cracow, showing the less known side of Andrzej Wajda - his connections with ethnography. The exhibits originate from assorted periods in the director's life and display his years-long interests, initiated by a meeting with Prof. Roman Reinfuss, who collected and catalogued valuable art works that survived the war in the environs of Cracow and in the region of Podhale.

While attending film courses Andrzej Wajda did not foresee himself as a director of feature films but considered the grotesque cinema and educational movies. The authoress recalls the director's notes from 1948, made during his stay in Ilza, which he then used for his first documentary film 'Ceramika ilzecka' (Pottery from Ilza, 1951). She also recalls a list made by Wajda in 1952, entitled 'Projekty filmów dokumentalnych' (Projects of documentary films), containing 19 titles with several ethnographic projects.

The director described how for a single day he became Tadeusz Kantor's assistant while recording the spectacle 'Umarla Klasa' (Dead Class). Concluding, he reflects that an assistant may be a genius creating all that the director conceives but he will never receive his due praise.
