The 2 min. trailer of THE WINDOWS fiction short:


The full version of 14 min fiction short THE WINDOWS:  

"Everything imaginable is truth." 
Gustav Flaubert

The first Daniel Strehlau`s fiction short based on his own screenplay and his storyboard from 1993. Eventually the movie was shot in Warsaw, Poland in 1996. At the time of writing his screenplay and shooting the movie in 1996, Daniel Strehlau didn`t know the movie "Rear Window" By Alfred Hitchcock. 

THE WINDOWS is Daniel Strehlau's first fiction short film. The film depicts a young writer sitting in front of his typewriter, struggling with a story, staring out the window. He perceives people in interrelated situations in various emotional states. The viewer sees love, solitude, tragedy, and death. At the end of the film, we discover that what they've just seen is a fiction in the mind of the writer.

The film will be reedited and scaled up from 35 mm to 4K quality.

Michelangelo Antonioni & Daniel Strehlau`s THE WINDOWS  
 
It was a great honor and privilege that great Michelangelo Antonioni was inspired by my storyboard and screenplay of my short THE WINDOWS from 1993 delivered to him by Mr. Krzysztof Kieslowski. 

The “windows” was a perfect ending of Master Michelangelo Antonioni's BEYOND THE CLOUDS (Al di là delle nuvole).

I wish it could have done this film together..., but I had a pleasure to be at the movie premiere joined by M. Antonioni. 
Enjoy!
