In 1936, Eugeniusz Cękalski produced a series of art reportages called Tańce polskie (Polish Dances), which consisted of four films: "Kujawiak", "Highland Dances", "Cracow Dances" and "Silesian Dances". The entire series made its way to Great Britain before the war (it was prepared in an English-language version for foreign distribution), thanks to which it has been preserved to our times. "Polish Dances" are rejects and working materials for these films.
