On Tuesday a long-awaited Polish film -- Zrodzeni do szabli (Born for the Sabre) -- will be shown on History Channel. Hungarian viewers will also have the possibility to watch this interesting documentary-drama about sabre fighting, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
From IMDb (3 of 16 photos)
It is very easy to find -- at least -- two trailers for this film, however in this entry I wouldn't like to discuss those excellent trailers, but rather I would prefer to share several nice drawings of painter-reenactor Anatoly Telenik, who worked on the film's concept.
„And at this time we invite you to familiarize yourself with the conceptual drawings of Anatoly Telenik. Among other things, this is how it started! Everyone who wants to see the final effect are welcome in front of TV!” [1]
First I saw these drawings in the YT video -- Zrodzeni do szabli | Fakty o polskiej szabli --, which explains the basic facts about the Polish sabre, but later I have found them on the film's FB-page. For the readers it might be interesting to find out more about Telenik, and see more of his excellent drawings.

Update:
After having watched the film it is really entertaining to re-examine the photo from IMDb.
There we can see -- from left to right -- the several major characters: the protagonist, Blazej Wronowski (played by Bartosz Sieniawski), Jan Jerlicz, war veteran and Blazej's fencing teacher (played by Pawel Delag, who also directed this film), and the antagonist, Russian bad guy, Dymitr Repnin (played by Krzysztof Sieniawski, identical twin brother of Bartosz). One would say it is completely charming how a little disguise -- some hair there, a shaved head here -- could make identical twins look so different. Well done!
Bartosz holds in his left hand the upper part of the broken sabre from one of the last scenes.
