New Polish Feature Films 2009 New Polish Feature Films 2009 New Polish Feature Films 2009 1 Introduction Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, With great pleasure we present you the latest catalogue of recent Polish film productions to be seen in cinemas in 2009. Last year’s Polish Film Festival in Gdynia generated great optimism, we are deeply convinced now that the Polish films are becoming increasingly better in every aspect, thanks to their diversity, originality, and excellent production workmanship. Some of them tell universal stories. I deeply believe that the film is the artistic domain and part of our national heritage which best represents Poland abroad. I am also convinced that the Polish film industry, with its potential and capacity, is still lacking its due recognition and appreciation by the international film community. The Polish Film Institute hopes to change this in 2009. Agnieszka Odorowicz Director, Polish Film Institute The landmark changes in the Polish film industry which have occurred following the establishment of the Polish Film Institute in 2006, are entwined with the fate of my second film. The film “Tricks” was submitted to the first Institute’s session which inaugurated the modern system of supporting film production. This gave me an unprecedented opportunity to observe these changes, or even participate in them on a number of occasions. In my opinion, some extraordinary films created in that period, especially those with uncompromising artistic values and with apparent personal imprints, decide about the strength of the present Polish cinema. The list comprises of both the films by young filmmakers, e.g. “33 Scenes from Life” by Małgorzata Szumowska, as well as the old-school master directors, e.g. “Four Nights with Anna” by Jerzy Skolimowski. Representing the Polish cinema abroad gives reasons for pride, so I feel particularly privileged and happy about “Tricks” being selected as a Polish entry for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Andrzej Jakimowski director We cherish a long-established and distinguished tradition; Polish Film School of the 50s, and the art cinema of 70s and 80s are the trademarks of the Polish cinema. In the recent decades this historic perspective has dominated our perception and thoughts of the cinema, today however we witness its reassessment. The current changes are particularly marked with the documentary films with which young filmmakers win audiences and reap laurels all over the world yet again. I do believe that we enter the period of the first significant successes also in the feature film category. The youngest generation of directors has just set out to make their feature-length debuts. We will learn very soon how their passion and sensitivity will outline new horizons of the Polish cinema. I do personally believe that some of them will reach the peaks of artistic success. Certainly, a major role in this achievement will be played by the Polish Film Institute the position of which as a patron of young art cannot be overestimated.

One of the most important features of this system is its comprehensiveness, which means providing support at all stages of the film production, and then promoting the film among potential audiences not only in Poland but also abroad. The Polish Film Institute co-finances the productions undertaken by the Polish film industry at various stages which include project development, production, promotion and distribution and finally disseminating the cinema culture and fostering professional development of filmmakers. Furthermore, one of the most important tasks for the Institute is to promote the Polish cinema abroad. In 2008 Polish films were presented at more than 260 international and Polish film festivals, including the most prominent ones in Berlin, Cannes, Karlovy Vary, Venice, Locarno, Toronto, Tokio, Pusan. They have received over 70 international awards. The Institute supported these films financially, but more importantly, promoted them by organizing film shows, concerts, conferences and meetings with film makers and actors. After establishment of the Polish Film Institute, the international participation in the Polish film productions has increased ten times. In 2008 Polish Film Institute has supported over 150 Polish and international productions (features, documentaries, animation) with the amount of over 20 M EUR, including the films produced by Lars von Tier, Sergey Dvortsevoy, Jerzy Skolimowski and Agnieszka Holland. The Polish Film Institute has branded the Polish cinema with a legible trademark.

  • 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.

  • Polish Death Camps Obrona
    December 2019 (REVISED) Why it matters not to refer to Nazi German camps as “Polish” The story you won’t find in the North American mainstream media Poland’s new anti-defamation law has sparked an avalanche of alarmist commentary and harsh criticism.1 Extravagant claims have been made about the scope and intent of the law as, allegedly, suppressing discussion of Second World War crimes committed by Poles. Outrageous charges, often accompanied by unbridled hysteria, are being levelled against the Polish government, which is accused of “Holocaust denial” and even anti-Semitism. The Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee of the Knesset declared that “the Polish law is a crime and we will not allow it to happen.” Jack Rosen, President of the American Jewish Congress and chairman of the American Council for World Jewry, goes even further, claiming that Poland has put itself “in the same team as Iran and other Islamic terror states and the alt-right in the US and Holocaust deniers.” The anti-defamation law has also released pent-up aggression against Poles. However, the North American media rarely, if ever, mentions this aspect in the tsunami of articles critical of Poland. They show no apparent concern for the many rancorous statements by prominent Jews mentioned later on. In fact, the 1 On January 26, 2018 and February 1, 2018, respectively, the Seym (lower chamber) and Senate of the Polish Parliament passed legislation, commonly referred to as an “anti-defamation law,” which was proclaimed into law on February 6, 2019 by Poland’s President. It was an amendment to the 1998 Act on the Institute of National Remembrance – Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation.

    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.

    1. Title: 13 Tzameti ISBN: 5060018488721 Sebastian, a young man, has decided to follow instructions intended for someone else, without knowing where they will take him. Something else he does not know is that Gerard Dorez, a cop on a knife-edge, is tailing him. When he reaches his destination, Sebastian falls into a degenerate, clandestine world of mental chaos behind closed doors in which men gamble on the lives of others men. 2. Title: 12 Angry Men ISBN: 5050070005172 Adapted from Reginald Rose's television play, this film marked the directorial debut of Sidney Lumet. At the end of a murder trial in New York City, the 12 jurors retire to consider their verdict. The man in the dock is a young Puerto Rican accused of killing his father, and eleven of the jurors do not hesitate in finding him guilty. However, one of the jurors (Henry Fonda), reluctant to send the youngster to his death without any debate, returns a vote of not guilty. From this single event, the jurors begin to re-evaluate the case, as they look at the murder - and themselves - in a fresh light. 3. Title: 12:08 East of Bucharest ISBN: n/a 12:08pm on the 22 December 1989 was the exact time of Ceausescu's fall from power in Romania.

But securing suitable guests proves an unexpected challenge and the producer is left with two less than ideal participants - a drink addled history teacher and a retired and lonely sometime-Santa Claus grateful for the company.
