  • 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.

  • Andrzej Wajda's a Generartion and Man of Marble
    Andrzej Wajda’s A Generartion and Man of Marble By Fabian Schuppert Spring 2006 Issue of KINEMA ANDRZEJ WAJDA’S A GENERATION AND MAN OF MARBLE FROM A POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE ’The cinema does not exist in a sublime state of innocence, untouched by the world; it also has a political content, whether conscious or unconscious, hidden or overt.’(1) Andrew Sarris A PIECE of art is always produced in concrete socio-political circumstances; it is a social product. Undoubt- edly art does not come into being or exists in an absolute, free state of self-sufficiency. But to postulate that art is at the same time always political, is quite a different affair. What exactly does it imply to saythat art, or as in the case of Andrew Sarris and this article, that film is political? This paper is going to inquire into the political role, function and use of film. The aim of this paper is to give a short overview on selected theories on the political nature of art and film, before moving on and applying these concepts to two films by Andrzej Wajda. This paper will analyse Wajda’s A Generation (Pokolenie, 1955) and Man of Marble (Człowiek z marmuru, 1976) from a political point of view. Both films were produced in Poland during the times of the communist regime, but under quite different conditions, and with quite different objectives. This article will not only deal with film analysis and interpretation but also critically look at the circumstance of production, which influenced the film: the concrete socio-political situation, including state pressure and censorship.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “An Exchange With
    c FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “An Exchange with Sol LeWitt” A two-part exhibition presented by Cabinet and MASS MoCA Curated by Regine Basha Cabinet: January 21, 2011 – March 5, 2011 (opening reception Thursday, January 20, 7–9 pm) MASS MoCA: January 23, 2011 – March 31, 2011 (opening reception Saturday, January 22, 7–9 pm) Paul Ramirez Jonas, Boarding Pass, 2010. Courtesy Paul Ramirez Jonas. Although celebrated for the revolutionary role he played in the development of both Conceptualism and Minimalism, Sol LeWitt was also renowned for his exchanges of artwork with various artists throughout his lifetime. For LeWitt, the act of exchange seemed to be not only a personal gesture, but also an integral part of his conceptual practice. In addition to encouraging the circulation of artworks through a gift economy that challenged the art world’s dominant economic model, LeWitt’s exchanges with friends and strangers have the same qualities of generosity and risk that characterized his work in general. In the spirit of continuing the artist’s lifelong philosophy of open exchange, and in conjunction with the “LeWitt Wall Drawing Retrospective” on view at MASS MoCA through 2033, MASS MoCA and Cabinet present “An Exchange with Sol LeWitt”—a curatorial project initiated by independent curator Regine 300 Nevins Street Brooklyn New York 11217 Tel: +1 718 222 8434 Fax: +1 718 222 3700 www.cabinetmagazine.org Basha.

Dumni jesteśmy z naszego naj­słynniejszego reżysera filmowego, Andrzeja Wajdy, którego uhonorowano tej wiosny nawyższym filmowym odznaczeniem ­ Oskarem za całość jego pracy. Nic dziwnego że miłośnicy srebrnego ekranu uważają go za jednego z najważniejszych reżyserów w historii filmu! Osiągnięcia jego są zaiste imponujące. Wajda zrealizował 36 filmów fabularnych, ponad 30 spektakli teatralnych, kilkanaście programów telewizyjnych. Jest najbardziej znanym w świecie polskim reżyserem. Miał mnóstwo sukcesów, zdobył wiele nagród. Wśród szczególnie prestiżowych była w Canne Srebrna Palma w 1957 r. za Kanał i w 1978 r. zaCzłowieka z marmuru nagroda krytyki FIPRESCI. Popiół i diament przyniósł mu nagrodę krytyki w Wenecji w 1959 r. Andrzeja Wajdę wychował polski patriotyczny dom i szkoła. Ojciec jego był zawodowym oficerem, matka nauczycielką. Dzieciństwo spędził w prowincjonalnych garnizonowych miasteczkach. Miał zaledwie 13 lat gdy wybuchła wojna i ojciec ruszył by bronić ojczyzny. Nie zobaczył go więcej, ale dom był zawsze pełen pamiątek, jego pułkowych odznak, jego Krzyża Virtutu Militari, fotogrfii w mudurze i z szablą. W czasie okupcji Andrzej uczył się w Radomiu na tajnych kompletach. W 1942 r. złożył przysięgę swemu dowódcy w podziemiu. Matka drżała o jego życie. Wcześnie ujawniły się jego zamiłowania artystyczne i zdolności malarskie. Wnet po zakończeniu wojny miał swoją pierwszą wystawę malarską. Czas mu było wyrwać się na szerszy świat. Przeniósł się do Krakowa, gdzie rozpoczął studia malarskie na Akademii Sztuk Pięknych.

  • Bodily Violence and Resistance in Wojtek Smarzowski's Rose
    Article Bodily Violence and Resistance in Wojtek Smarzowski’s Rose (Róża, 2011) ELŻBIETA OSTROWSKA, University of Alberta, Canada; email: [email protected] 38 DOI: 10.2478/bsmr-2018-0003 BALTIC SCREEN MEDIA REVIEW 2018 / VOLUME 6 / ARTICLE ABSTRACT The article argues that Wojtek Smarzowski’s filmRose (Róża, Poland, 2011) undermines the dominant bi- gendered logic of screen death and suffering in the Polish films depicting the experience of World War II. In these films, there is a significant absence of images of female suffering and death, which is striking when compared to the abundant images of wounded and dying male bodies, usually represented as a lavish visual spectacle. This unrepresented female death serves as a ‘structuring absence’ that governs the systematic signifying practices of Polish cinema. Most importantly, it expels the female experience of World War II from the realm of history to the realm of the mythical. This representational regime has been established in the Polish national cinema during the 1950s, especially in Andrzej Wajda’s films, and is still proving its longevity. As the author argues, Smarzowski’s Rose is perhaps the most significant attempt to undermine this gendered cinematic discourse. Specifically, the essay explores the ways in which Smarzowski’s Rose departs from previous dominant modes of representation of the World War II experience in Polish cinema, especially its gendered aspect.1 Firstly, it examines how Rose abandons the generic conventions of both war film and historical drama and instead, utilises selected conventions of melodrama to open up the textual space in which to represent the female experience of historical events.

  • The Shoah on Screen – Representing Crimes Against Humanity Big Screen, Film-Makers Generally Have to Address the Key Question of Realism
    Mémoi In attempting to portray the Holocaust and crimes against humanity on the The Shoah on screen – representing crimes against humanity big screen, film-makers generally have to address the key question of realism. This is both an ethical and an artistic issue. The full range of approaches has emember been adopted, covering documentaries and fiction, historical reconstructions such as Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, depicting reality in all its details, and more symbolic films such as Roberto Benigni’s Life is beautiful. Some films have been very controversial, and it is important to understand why. Is cinema the best way of informing the younger generations about what moire took place, or should this perhaps be left, for example, to CD-Roms, videos Memoi or archive collections? What is the difference between these and the cinema as an art form? Is it possible to inform and appeal to the emotions without being explicit? Is emotion itself, though often very intense, not ambivalent? These are the questions addressed by this book which sets out to show that the cinema, a major art form today, cannot merely depict the horrors of concentration camps but must also nurture greater sensitivity among increas- Mémoire ingly younger audiences, inured by the many images of violence conveyed in the media. ireRemem moireRem The Shoah on screen – www.coe.int Representing crimes The Council of Europe has 47 member states, covering virtually the entire continent of Europe.

    CHAPTER 3 The 1970s Seeking Change The time of fragmentation In the previous chapter I described the 1960s as a decade that was good for labour in Europe, with high levels of employment, relatively high wages and opportunities to move up the social ladder. This was reflected in European cinema through the focus on characters searching for self-fulfilment rather than the necessities of life. From the perspective of the economy and politics, the 1970s constitute a watershed. At the beginning of the decade, they conformed to the rules set out by Ford and Keynes. By its end they took a new direction; the values that informed the first thirty or so years of European postwar history gave way to a new set of ideas. This change was not immediately visible. Eric Hobsbawm observes that ‘The history of the twenty years after 1973 is that of a world which lost its bearings and slid into instability and crisis. And yet, until the 1980s it was not clear how irretrievably the foundations of the Golden Age had crumbled’ (Hobsbawm 1995: 403). Those who attempt to draw the line between the Golden Age and its aftermath point to 1973: the year of the oil embargo following the Arab-Israeli war, property crashes worldwide and the simultaneous collapse of several financial institutions, coupled with the unraveling of the international Bretton Woods financial arrangements, which established the American Dollar as a world currency (Hobsbawm 1995: 403; Harvey 2005: 5–24; Harvey 2006a: x). In contrast to the preceding decades of stability, since 1973 the European and world economy has been in a perpetual crisis (Harvey 2005; 2010b).
