(Andrzei Munk, Poland 1963, 63 min., 35mm)
Director Andrzei Munk died in a car crash before he could complete Passenger. Fellow director Witold Lesiewicz used the completed footage and still photography to assemble a version of the film that could be released. In the film, Marta (Anna Ciepielewska), a concentration camp survivor, runs into Liza (Aleksandra Śląska), who was an officer at her camp, on a luxury liner. Through a series of flashbacks, Marta relates her time in the camp and her relationship with Liza, while deciding what to do about Liza’s hidden past. Preceded by two short films: Labyrinth is an animated film in which a lonely woman undergoes a series of surreal visions, and Tango uses multiple layers to explore the many uses of a single room, while the characters who inhabit it seem to be ignorant of each other.
