A Short Film About Killing
A Short Film About Killing () is a 1988 drama film directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski and starring Mirosław Baka, Krzysztof Globisz, and Jan Tesarz. Written by Krzysztof Kieślowski and Krzysztof Piesiewicz, the film was expanded from "" of the Polish television series "Dekalog". Set in Warsaw, Poland, the film compares the senseless, violent murder of an individual to the cold, calculated execution by the state. "A Short Film About Killing" won both the Jury Prize and the FIPRESCI
Longer feature films.
Kieślowski expanded "Five" and "Six" into longer feature films ("A Short Film About Killing" and "A Short Film About Love"), using the same cast and changing the stories slightly. 
This was part of a contractual obligation with the producers, since feature films were easier to distribute outside Poland. In 2000, the series was released on five DVDs, each containing two parts of about 2 hours.
