Abstract

The authors of the article introduce the apocryphal form as a useful tool in analysis and interpretation of the film. Komunia (Communion) (a documentary directed by Anna Zamecka, 2016) and Boże Ciało (Corpus Christi) (a feature film directed by Jan Komasa, 2019) are the examples of the apocryphal form in contemporary culture. The authors are of the opinion that the apocryphal forms change medium but even so they reflect the will of creation alternative forms of thinking about religion. The film, treated as a medium of literature, is a source of hidden or forgotten representations of dominant religious discourses. Colloquial thinking is a dominant form of cognition in this context.
