In this catalogue, we focus on a selection of feature films, some of which are sure to screen in competition and oth­ er notable sections at international film festivals. A few of these films have already been released on the domestic market, while others are still in production. I am sure that the coming months will bring a number of great encounters with Polish cinema. 2016 was an exceptionally successful year in Po­ photo by Marcin Kułakowski, Polish Film Institute lish cinema, as shown both by awards received by Polish films at international film festivals and by over 12 million admissions in cinemas across the nation. This excellent result is the outcome of an exceptional diversity of Polish films. Alongside blockbuster films and period pieces, audiences of­ ten chose to see original arthouse films, as well as films that do not shy away from social issues. The 2017 season will bring more of these films to the big screen. Among these are films by first­time directors and those by seasoned filmmakers who have gained acclaim among audiences and critics alike. Polish producers are increasingly involved in international minority co­productions, which is also reflected in this catalogue. Feature films show the true face of contemporary Polish cinema. It is my pleasure to invite you to discover and discuss what Polish filmmakers have to offer.

  • The Andrzej Wajda-Philip Morris Freedom Prize
    The Andrzej Wajda-Philip Morris Freedom Prize By Ron Holloway Spring 1999 Issue of KINEMA Cinema is not just art and entertainment,” said Polish director Andrzej Wajda in dialogue with German colleague Volker Schlöndorff during a program scheduled at the American Academy in Berlin. ”Cinema also has a social, moral, philosophical function. This is often forgotten today.” Asked for further clarification, Wajda answered, without hesitation but on a note of nostalgia: ”Compare today’s cinema with Italian Neorealism, with postwar Swedish and French cinema, and the gap is evident!” Poland’s most acclaimed film director had his reasons for speaking out so directly and without compromise on the banality of contemporary cinema. On the day before, in the Polish Cultural Institute on Alexanderplatz, he had been honored with the American Cinema Foundation Freedom Award -- indeed, the ceremony was most impressive. Guests from the United States and Poland, among them Agnieszka Holland, Wajda’s favourite collaborator on screenplays, were present. Moreover, the occasion marked the founding of the new ”Andrzej Wajda -- Philip Morris Freedom Prize,” to be awarded annually to a promising filmmaker from Central or Eastern Europe, in whose works are reflected the themes of freedom and democracy. The prize will be awarded together withapurse of $10,000 donated by the Philip Morris Kunstförderung. Each July, during the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, an international jury will select the winner of the Andrzej Wajda Prize. In February, on the occasion of the Freedom Film Festival in Berlin, the prize will be officially awarded to the winner. ”This is not a lifetime achievement award,” says Gary McVey, director of the American Cinema Foundation, ”but a prize in recognition of an exemplary moral and ethical message in the art of the cinema.

  • Contemporary Polish Cinema (Spring Term)
    University of Pittsburgh Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures Polish 1450 - Contemporary Polish Cinema (Spring Term) Instructor: Jolanta Lapot (visiting from Lodz Film School of Poland, 1999-2000) Course Meets: W CL249 5:45-10:00 Office Hours: Th, Fr 11:00-2:00 Office:1417 Cathedral of Learning e-mail:[email protected]. Phone: 624-5707 General Course Description The course presents contemporary Polish cinema from 1945 to the present. Concepts will be studied in their historical, political, philosophical, and aesthetic perspective. We will examine the important national themes in modern Polish cinema, relating them to the history of Poland and Eastern Europe. The main trends (schools, movements) in Polish cinema will be examined such as the so-called PolishSchool and the Cinema of Moral Concern. The works of most important modern Polish film-makers will be examined, including the works of Andrzej Wajda, Andrzej Munk, Agnieszka Holland, Roman Polanski, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Wladyslaw Pasikowski, Leszek Wosiewicz, and Ryszard Bugajski. Films to be examined may be divided into three general groups 1. Films representing post-war history and, more specifically, films covering important social and political transformations, but made after the fact. These are sometimes called revisionist films in search of historical truth, previously distorted by political ideology. 2. Films dealing with World War II. We will look at different ways in which the war is treated by film-makers over the course of the post-war period. 3. The final group of films is chosen purely on the basis of artistic merit. The role of film as an art form will be examined during the different periods of the post-World-War-Two era.

    Polish Feature Film after 1989 By Tadeusz Miczka Spring 2008 Issue of KINEMA CINEMA IN THE LABYRINTH OF FREEDOM: POLISH FEATURE FILM AFTER 1989 “Freedom does not exist. We should aim towards it but the hope that we will be free is ridiculous.” Krzysztof Kieślowski1 This essay is the continuation of my previous deliberations on the evolution of the Polish feature film during socialist realism, which summarized its output and pondered its future after the victory of the Solidarity movement. In the paper “Cinema Under Political Pressure…” (1993), I wrote inter alia: “Those serving the Tenth Muse did not notice that martial law was over; they failed to record on film the takeover of the government by the political opposition in Poland. […] In the new political situation, the society has been trying to create a true democratic order; most of the filmmakers’ strategies appeared to be useless. Incipit vita nova! Will the filmmakers know how to use the freedom of speech now? It is still too early toanswer this question clearly, but undoubtedly there are several dangers which they face.”2 Since then, a dozen years have passed and over four hundred new feature films have appeared on Polish cinema screens, it isnow possible to write a sequel to these reflections. First of all it should be noted that a main feature of Polish cinema has always been its reluctance towards genre purity and display of the filmmaker’s individuality. That is what I addressed in my earlier article by pointing out the “authorial strategies.” It is still possible to do it right now – by treating the authorial strategy as a research construct to be understood quite widely: both as the “sphere of the director” or the subjective choice of “authorial role,”3 a kind of social strategy or social contract.4 Closest to my approach is Tadeusz Lubelski who claims: “[…] The practical application of authorial strategies must be related to the range of social roles functioning in the culture of a given country and time.

  • Burning Bush
    presents BURNING BUSH A Film by Agnieszka Holland 2013 / Czech Republic / in Czech with English subtitles / Color A Kino Lorber Release from Kino Lorber, Inc. 333 West 39 St., Suite 503 New York, NY 10018 (212) 629-6880 Publicity Contact: Rodrigo Brandão – [email protected] Matt Barry – [email protected] SHORT SYNOPSIS The three-part drama, directed by the Polish director Agnieszka Holland, is HBO Europe’s most ambitious, big-budget project to date. The film returns to a pivotal time in modern Czech history, ignored in Czech cinema until now. It begins with a reconstruction of the shocking act of a Czech university student, who in protest of the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia, set himself on fire in Prague’s Wenceslas Square on January 16, 1969, and died four days later. Through the story of the brave defense attorney Dagmar Burešová, who defended Palach’s legacy in a doomed lawsuit, the film examines the transformations taking place in Czechoslovak society after the invasion of the armies of the Warsaw Pact in August of 1968 and the installation of a hardline Communist government. It depicts the beginnings of Czech and Slovak resistance against the occupation, which reached its apex with the mass protests during Palach’s funeral. It also shows the nation’s gradual resignation under the pressure of fear and harsher persecution. LONG SYNOPSIS Part I On the 16th of January1969 on Wenceslas Square in Prague, a young student sets himself on fire in front of dozens of passers-by. Police Major Jireš (Ivan Trojan) investigates the circumstances of Palach’s actions.

    УДК 81.33 AN ARTISTIC IMAGE METAPHORICITY: CULTURAL MEMORY AND TRANSLATION V.A. Razumovskaya, E.B. Grishaeva . Abstract The article presents a complementary semantic-semiotic analysis of an artistic image in the framework of a literary text. The analysis is followed by post-translation descriptions. Being generated and functioning within a literary text an artistic image is considered to be an extended metaphoric formation primarily destined to fulfill the aesthetic function. Particular attention is paid to the cultural information and memory embodied in a unique cultural code presented in an artistic image and closely connected with its metaphoric characteristics. The present research was conducted on the material of the “strong” text of the Russian culture – “The Master and Margarita” by M. Bulgakov. The artistic image of Bulgakov’s tom-cat Behemoth is a heterogeneous metaphoric formation combining the cultural memory of a Biblical monster Behemoth, zoo-metaphorical characteristics of a hippopotamus (as a real fauna representative) and various connotations of a black tom-cat in its real and mythological hypostases. The research methodology assumes integrated analysis combining mythopoetic, hermeneutic and comparative methods. In the situation of literary translation, a literary image can be considered as a regular unit of translation, the reconstruction of which in “other” languages and cultures requires special translator’s decisions and application of effective translation techniques and strategies. Keywords: “Strong” text; artistic image; cultural information and memory; cultural code; metaphor; aesthetic effect; intertextuality; “The Master and Margarita”; Behemoth; cognitive equivalence. Introduction Any literary text is the unique result of individual perception, image comprehension and artistic reflection of the real or fiction life.

  • „To Kłamstwo! Kopernik Była Kobietą!” – Sposoby Budowania Komizmu Językowego W Wybranych Filmach Juliusza Machulskiego
    http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/7969-405-1.26 Małgorzata Miławska Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu „To kłamstwo! Kopernik była kobietą!” – sposoby budowania komizmu językowego w wybranych filmach Juliusza Machulskiego Obszerne zagadnienie kreatywności językowej – pojęcia prze- wodniego konferencji – zachęca do tego, by przyjrzeć się różnym użyciom polszczyzny, zwłaszcza tym artystycznym, a więc niety- powym i niecodziennym. Ten ostatni przymiotnik to swoiste sło- wo klucz; w niniejszym artykule wielokrotnie pojawią się odwo- łania do kategorii potoczności, bezpośrednio przecież związanej z codziennym doświadczaniem świata [Lebda 2003]. Okazuje się bowiem, że trzeba nie lada słuchu i umiejętności, by stylizowany na potoczny dialog filmowy został odebrany przez widownię jako naturalny i swojski, a nie jako nieporadny czy sztuczny [Hendry- kowski 2013]. Za jednego z wirtuozów słowa wśród rodzimych filmowców z pewnością należy uznać Juliusza Machulskiego, autora dzieł – wypada chyba w tym miejscu posłużyć się modnym neosemanty- zmem – kultowych, takich jak Vabank, Seksmisja czy Kiler. Utwory Machulskiego stanowią fenomen społeczno-kulturowy: są uwiel- biane przez pokolenia, nawet mimo zmiany realiów, do których na- wiązywały w czasie premiery [Zarębski 2010]. Swoją żywotność zawdzięczają nie tylko sprawności warsztatowej twórcy (w więk- szości przypadków reżysera i scenarzysty zarazem) czy niezapo- mnianym kreacjom aktorskim, ale i charakterystycznej konstrukcji filmowej polszczyzny, zwracającej uwagę na samą siebie, a zatem – ukształtowanej pod dyktatem funkcji poetyckiej w rozumieniu 338 Małgorzata Miławska Romana Jakobsona [1960]. O unikatowym talencie autora Kingsajzu do swobodnego operowania mową potoczną świadczy fakt, że cytaty z jego scenariuszy funkcjonują w powszechnym obiegu, zasilając tym samym zasób skrzydlatych słów [Lubelski 2009b; Szczygieł, Zalewski 2003]. Juliusza Machulskiego włącza się do grona autorów w polskiej kinematografii1, choć on sam nie przyzwala sobie nawet na miano artysty i traktuje swoją rolę dość „usługowo” [Lubelski 2009a].

  • Paris Cinema.1.1
    01 02 03 The New Wave Hotel 04 05 Roland-François Lack 06 07 08 09 The association of the French New Wave with the kind of movement through urban 10 space that has been called flânerie is a familiar one. A defamiliarising strategy in this 11 chapter, and in my research more broadly,1 is to examine and occupy the spaces in 12 which New Wave films come to rest, countering a general assumption that cinema is 13 always about movement. The hotel is a peculiarly cinematic stopping place because, it 14 has been argued, it is ‘always already in motion’, a ‘ceaseless flux of reservations, occu- 15 pations and vacancies’.2 By fixing exactly the locations of Paris hotels in New Wave films 16 and by looking closely at the contents of the rooms in those hotels, this chapter will try 17 to resist the appeal of such mobility and fix its gaze firmly on its object, unmoved. The 18 suggestion will be, finally, that the French New Wave is less a cinema of flânerie than 19 it is a cinema of stasis; is as much a cinema of interiors as it is a cinema of the street. 20 What, cinematically, is particular about the New Wave’s use of hotels? New Wave 21 hotels are places of passage, temporary stopping places that signify transience and, in 22 the end, mobility. In her study of cinematic flânerie, Suzanne Liandrat-Guigues defines 23 the cinematographic image as ‘passage’,3 and though she goes on to illustrate the point 24 through New Wave films that follow characters as they walk in streets, fixing on their 25 ‘singular mobility’, here we will be following the New Wave’s characters into spaces 26 where walking is restricted.
