It demonstrates how Passendorfer’s blend of mainstream cinema and propaganda legitimized the party state and contributed to the construction of a new ethos, identity, and politics of history that enforced historical amnesia and syncretized past and present. It also argues that Passendorfer’s promotion of nationalist and authoritarian state ideology, militaristic patriotism and Polish-Soviet alliance, commissioned by the regime, sat well with mass audiences, precisely because of the use of popular genres adopted from the West and the quench for optimistic visions of nationhood.

  • Nga | Viewing History Through the Filmmaker's Lens
    VIEWING HISTORY THROUGH THE FILMMAKER'S LENS Agnieszka Holland, lecture delivered Sunday, December 1, 2013 National Gallery of Art When I was thirteen years old, I became fascinated with ancient Rome. The impulse for that was a highly suggestive Polish TV adaptation of Billy Wilder's The Ides of March. I desperately wanted to enter this intense world, and so I decided that I must have reincarnated many times and that in ancient Rome I had been Brutus, with all his complexity and remorse, only to return in the Renaissance, but not as Michelangelo or Leonardo, but as an unknown friend of the latter (who, by the way, had a mysterious, dangerous relationship with Buonarotti). I even kept diaries as these pretended incarnations of mine. I was also convinced that one of my incarnations lived in occupied Poland during the Second World War, but this seemed to painful to write about. It wasn't until years later that this subject came back to me. I don't really believe in films describing historical events that happened ages ago. The stronger the remoteness, the more arbitrarily a filmmaker has to present it. This engenders a certain risk of falling into the most commonly encountered kind of kitsch: simplification, anachronisms, and overt aestheticization. The easiest step is to imitate the external time indicators (though even this requires intuition, knowledge, and diligence), such as costumes, props, and architectural details. The most difficult task is to discover the sense of inner truth, which makes the story deeply rooted in the historical context but at the same time doesn't make it look like some history manual article.

  • Miloš Forman and Saul Zaentz
    Lifetime Achievement Awards: Miloš Forman and Saul Zaentz By Ron Holloway Spring 2005 Issue of KINEMA THE FOLLOWING portraits of Miloš Forman and Saul Zaentz celebrate from a personal perspective the extraordinary film accomplishments by this masterful director-producer team on the occasion of Lifetime Achievement Awards given by Film By the Sea Festival in the Dutch seaside resort cities of Vlissingen and Scheveningen. Miloš Forman and Saul Zaentz, invited by festival director Leo Hannewijk and international co-director Steve Klain, were honoured as well by leading personalities of the Netherlands and the European Union. Indeed, this single event scored as one of the festival highlights of the year. Miloš Forman - Auditions and Adaptations My first meeting with Miloš Forman took place in April 1968 - a couple hours after I had been thrownoutof the Variety office on 43rd Street for daring to ”sign myself on” as a future correspondent. Togetridofme, Bob Landry, the benevolent desk editor, sent me over to the Chelsea Hotel in Lower Manhattan to interview Miloš Forman. ”Since you liked Loves of a Blonde that much,” he shouted after me, ”find out what he’s doing next.” Off I went - and came back to the office with a nifty little story about a nail-clipper. It neversawprint. ”Nobody in this place ever heard of a pince à ongles - so who the hell cares!” was the rebuff. A rather stiff kick in the butt for a fledgling. But the next day Landry phoned me to promise a job when I got toEurope. Looking back, I still think The Nail-Clipper (1968) is one of Miloš Forman’s better films.

  • Reception and Appropriation of Alan Ford Comic Book Series in Yugoslavia
    LEIDEN UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Reception and Appropriation of Alan Ford Comic Book Series in Yugoslavia A critical review Jan Charvát 31.08.2020 Student Number: s2575116 Supervisor: Mari Nakamura Programme: International Relations (MA) MA Thesis Culture and Politics 5184VCP01Y Word count: 14314 Acknowledgements I would not be able to study at the Leiden University without the generous support of the Presidium Libertatis scholarship. Therefore, I thank Roger R. Hazewinkel for enabling me to do so and professors Balázs Trencsényi and Jan Hennings for supporting my application. Nanda de Bruin and Hester Bergsma also affiliated with the scholarship both deserve my deep gratitude for their support and care during sometimes uneasy times in Leiden. As for the finished thesis you now have in front of you, the first thank must go to my supervisor Mari Nakamura for her patience and understanding with the COVID-19 related problems that emerged on my side. I am not exaggerating when I say it would not be possible to finish the thesis without her virtues. The second to Filip Bojanić for introducing me to Alan Ford. As having a safe refuge to undergo an ordered quarantine at multiple times throughout the pandemic is a great privilege not many of us have, I thank my parents, who have done all humanly possible and more to give me a home. For providing me with the software and hardware necessary to write the thesis, I thank my brother Ondřej Charvát and Jana Kočková. I would literally get nothing written without them and their help is greatly valued.
