Interviews with Polish Film Scholars] – Review 243 Anna Miller-Klejsa Quo Vadis? by Enrico Guazzoni and Quo Vadis? by Gabriellino D’Annunzio: Production – Dramaturgy – Reception 246 Notes on Contributors 261 5 Contents Panoptikum nr 18 (25) 2017 Foreword Fuelled with new energy, film education is again the focus of Polish film studies and Polish studies. Recently published monographs by Witold Bobiński (2011, 2016) and volumes released by various academic institutions (Jaskulski, Koryciński, 2016; Ciszewska, Klejsa, 2016) prove that researchers keenly ex- plore practical and theoretical issues connected with this phenomenon. During the 2nd Congress of Film and Media Scholars titled “Discourses of Visibility” (Cracow, December 2016) two panel sessions were devoted to film education. There is no shortage of activities aimed at promoting film education among students of humanities programmes, suffice to mention the Think!Film pro- ject conducted by the Film Studies Student Society in the Chair for Media and Audiovisual Culture at the University of Lodz. Open meetings with film education theoreticians and practitioners held in the Department of Philology at the University of Lodz in 2015–2016, featuring e.g. Prof. Dr. Habil. Piotr Sitarski, Dr. Habil. Konrad Klejsa, Dr. Michał Pabiś-Orzeszyna, Dr. Jadwiga Mostowska, Dr. Małgorzata Kozubek, Anna Równy and Agata Sotomska, stimulated much critical reflection, whose echoes can be found in the texts collected in the present volume. The central issue in the field of film education is the tension between history and traditional methods of obtaining educational results, and the changing real- ity, which forces us to redefine the very goals of film education and ways of im- plementing it. In Polish academic tradition but also educational practice, we are used to perceiving film education as strongly integrated with the school system. As a result, as Ewa Ciszewska explains, film scholars and teachers advocate for an educational reform consisting in the creation of a separate school subject de- voted to film (or media) education. This goal has never been fully accomplished. At present, film history and aesthetics can be discussed as part of several school subjects. Usually, film education is conducted during Polish language classes; nevertheless, it can be successfully implemented within other subjects as well as within extracurricular activities. This is proposed by teaching method specialists (see the article by the team of the Central Cabinet for Film Education), who of- fer a whole range of teaching techniques to be applied in film education. On the other hand, as Małgorzata Jakubowska points out, film education is increasingly often addressed at other people besides school students, namely at small children, university students and adults (including senior citizens). Con- sequently – and in line with EU guidelines – it has become part of the lifelong learning process. Problems and challenges involved in providing kindergarten children with film education are discussed by Kamila Żyto, who presents activi- ties conducted by the New Horizons Association as an interesting educational offer addressed at the youngest learners. 6 Jadwiga Mostowska shows that legal and organisational framework condi- tioning film education in Poland makes it largely a domain of enthusiasts (both in schools and outside them), who are brave enough to initiate film-oriented events despite substantial obstacles and difficulties. Teachers and educators keep perfecting their skills and gaining new knowledge concerning film education; still, as Anna Równy points out, their access to various forms of supplemental education and in-service training largely depends on their location. Hence, film education has been transferring to cinemas, which is analysed by Justyna Hanna Budzik. This tendency can be interpreted as a consequence of insufficient teach- er training and objective difficulties connected with conducting film education activities in schools. Still, film education is very much needed in Poland, since, as Monika Rawska suggests, active film commentators still lack necessary knowledge. This, in turn, results in the instrumental use of films in quasi-therapeutic ventures, which the author describes in detail. Some optimism is to be found, however, in the in- stances of creative exploration of the educational potential of Polish animation by institutions, NGOs and inventive cultural managers (as is presented by Ma- teusz Żebrowski). In Katarzyna Figat’s opinion, the quality of film education in Poland would improve if film studies and culture studies university curricula included aspects pertaining to audiosphere and film sound. Film education is presently conducted by a number of specialised institutions, e.g. by the National Film Archive in Warsaw (since 1 June 2017 functioning as the National Film Archive – Audiovisual Institute), whose educational activities focused on Polish pre-World War II cinema are discussed

A digital collection containing the video interviews, as well as transcripts, is available online at http://lib.stanford.edu/women-art-revolution. Biographical Note Lynn Hershman Leeson (b. 1941) is a performance artist and filmmaker who, in various media, has investigated the idea of selfhood and what establishes an individual as a sentient, gendered, unique person. Between the years of 1974 and 1978, Hershman Leeson spent much of her time performing as an alter ego, the character Roberta Breitmore. Much of the work--drawings, photographs, clothing, medical records, letters, etc.--Hershman Leeson produced during the Breitmore years related to the character's emotional and practical existences. Hershman Leeson seemed to be demonstrating that the two existences could and should not be easily separated--nor should the artist herself be easily separated from the character she created.

Their twenties are the age of freedom, of fast-changing events and intense emotions. Perhaps only at this age they can live a whole life in one day. A young girl and her two accident companions walk halfway around St.-Petersburg; they flirt and tease each other, and for ninety minutes they act out a real-time romantic drama. This stroll is full of laughter and tears against a backdrop of the hustle and bustle of the streets and some mystifying secret that keeps the audience in suspense. In the end, the mystery is resolved, forever uniting the story with the city. St. Petersburg has never been seen like this before. The city is not shown as a phantom, museum, specter or ruin. This is Petersburg on-line, a beautiful, busting city, in which young Russian Europeans live and suffer freely and easily.
