Work at the Marek Siemek documentary - "The Faculty of Accidental Necessity" (yes, the title evolves) is in full speed now. Lately I discovered a rare video footage of Siemek's lectures, recorded when he was at his peek. In his early 50ties, beaming with charisma, smarts and power he validates the raves other have been using in describing him.

Needles to say this footage significantly colors the entire story.
