Polish Cinema 2008 New Polish Films: WITH SENSE AND SENSIBILITY Andrzej Wajda’s School: THE MASTER AND HIS TRAINEES “Peter and the Wolf”: SECOND OSCAR FOR A FILM MADE IN SE-MA-FOR STUDIO Russia, Afghanistan and Belarus: IN POLISH DOCUMENTARIES „PETER AND THE WOLF” Polish Cinema 2008 THE TRAGEDY OF PRISONERS OF WAR, THE MISERY OF THEIR FAMILIES ANDRZEJ WAJDA’S “KATYŃ” Polish Cinema 2008 editorial “Kino” monthly , a journal providing a perceptive and original insight into various aspects of the film industry, has accompanied Polish cinema for over forty years now. In line with this tradition, in this special English language issue, we present a selection of articles published in “Kino” in the last year. They include reviews, interviews, as well as articles concerning the history of Polish cinema and opinion columns. However, we focus on the most interesting Polish feature films (of which 41 have been made there between the beginning of 2007 and May 2008), as well as documentary and animated films of the last year. Some of them could be seen at various international festivals, where they received numerous awards. The most prestigious award, an Oscar, came to the short animated film, “Peter and the Wolf”, which is a British-Polish co-production, directed by Suzie Templeton and made in the Studio Se-Ma-For in Łódź. On the other hand, the most awarded Polish film was “Tricks” by Andrzej Jakimowski, which till April 2008 received 12 awards, including at the festivals in Gdynia, Venice, Tokyo, Mannheim, Sao Paulo and Miami. However, what counts more than awards is the fact that Polish viewers have regained pleasure in watching Polish films. In 2005, the total number of viewers watching Polish films in cinema was only 700,000; in 2008 it was over 8 million. It is also worth adding that many of recent Polish films are international co-productions with German, Austrian, Italian and Dutch partners. In this special issue the new Polish films are presented by their authors, and reviewed by the best Polish critics, including some young ones. We also write about some films which are currently in production due to interest they attracted.

Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

  • Faraon De Jerzy Kawalerowicz: O Drama Do Poder. Quando O Presente E O Passado Se Cruzam
    1 Faraon de Jerzy Kawalerowicz: o drama do poder. Quando o presente e o passado se cruzam. José das Candeias Sales Universidade Aberta; CHUL «O filme possui um movimento que lhe é próprio e cabe ao estudioso identificar o seu fluxo e refluxo. É importante, portanto, para que possamos apreender o sentido produzido pela obra, refazer o caminho trilhado pela narrativa e reconhecer a área a ser percorrida a fim de compreender as opções que foram feitas e as que foram deixadas de lado no decorrer de seu trajeto.» Morettin, 2003, 38, 39. «No mi interessa definire la vita, preferisco una riflessione sulla vita. Questa è la base della mía produzione artística, ogni film debe essere una proposta per meditare.» «Intervista com Jerzy Kawalerowicz» in Filmcritica Illustrata, nº 165, 1966, 179. «Me interesaba mostrar el drama del poder en el contexto del drama de la vida.» «Conversaciones con Jerzy Kawalerowicz» in Pérez Millán, Zawislinski, Dipont, 2005, 68. O tratamento cinematográfico do passado é, simultaneamente, um trabalho de uniformização e simplificação desse passado e uma leitura do presente ditada pelas condicionantes ideológicas, políticas, históricas, estéticas, económicas, etc., próprias do momento da sua elaboração. No cinema histórico como na História, a reflexão sobre o passado faz-se sempre a partir do presente, com a informação, as teorias, as metodologias e as problemáticas disponíveis. A «matéria-prima» do passado proporciona-se, assim, a uma popularização dos seus cenários, personagens e tramas, com maior ou menor obediência aos critérios da factualidade histórica, e permite, de forma mais assumida ou mais subliminar, transmitir mensagens, esboçar percepções, consolidar perspectivas.

In every branch of contemporary art, our rich Polish folklore becomes a source of inspiration for artists. nown for being very musical, Poles love dance and music. Folk melodies Kcan be heard in Chopin’s works, while Krzysztof Penderecki and Witold Lutosławski set new standards in the world of avant-garde music. Poland attracts a lot of attention, thanks to its talented jazz musicians and young artists excelling in the domain of alternative music. The poetry of Wisława Szymborska, recognised with a Nobel Prize, is appreciated in many corners of the world. Like Szymborska’s poems, many others’ works have been translated into foreign languages: the literary reportages of Ryszard Kapuściński, the futuristic prose of Stanisław Lem or the dramas of Sławomir Mrożek. Igor Mitoraj and Magdalena Abakanowicz are consid- ered ambassadors of Polish sculpture, with their monumental works arousing worldwide admi- ration. Roman Opałka’s and Wilhelm Sasnal’s paintings are highly sought after by art collec- tors. ▶ ▶ Poland has been home to many illustrious personalities, whose work changed the face of the world. Some were scientists, like Nicolaus Coperni- cus or Marie Skłodowska-Curie. Others shaped our reality in different ways, for example, the founders of Hollywood, Samuel Goldwyn and the Warner brothers.

  • Ten Years Supporting, Delivering & Promoting the Whole Spectrum of Animation
    TEN YEARS SUPPORTING, DELIVERING & PROMOTING THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF ANIMATION Directors Message Wow – we made it to our 10th anniversary!! Who would have thought it? From very humble beginnings – our first festival in 2004 screened at the now-defunct Rupert Street Cinema in Piccadilly – to LIAF 2013, 10 days at 3 different venues. We have survived - sort of. Over 10 years we’ve received more than 12,000 entries, screened more than 2,500 films, and had some of the most talented animators in the world come and hang out with us. And we’ve had a ball on the way. It’s time to blow our own trumpet. As well as being the largest festival of it’s kind in the UK in terms of films and programmes screened, we have a substantial touring component and we run satellite events all year-round. We’ve screened at festivals, cinemas, theatres and colleges all around the world and in the UK and hopefully we have spread the word that animation is a valid artform that is only limited by the animator’s imagination. In short, our maxim is that in animation anything can happen. Long may this be. There are far too may people to thank here (hopefully you know who you are) but the guidance and immense work-rate of my co-Director Malcolm Turner has to be acknowledged. Way back when in our ground zero - actually in the year 1999 - I still vividly recall that very first meeting Malcolm and I had with our then-colleague Susi Allender in the back garden of our Melbourne flat.

To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.
