Krzysztof ZanussiCast: Piotr Garlicki, Zbigniew Zapasiewicz, Christine PaulPoland, 1976, 101 minA linguistics competition at a university’s summer camp is the backdrop for a wittily satirical drama about the elusiveness of language. An idealistic teacher and his manipulative older colleague assess not only each entry’s intrinsic merit, but also whether it ticks sufficient official boxes to be prize worthy – an experience Polish filmmakers were all too ruefully familiar with.

TALK & SCREENING

GoTTLANDDir. Lukáš Kokeš, Petr Hátle, Viera Čákanyová, Rozálie Kohoutová, Klára Tasovská, Radovan SíbrtCzech Republic / Poland / Slovakia2014, 100 minAfter reading his prize-winning book about their compatriots, a group of young Czech filmmakers approached the Polish author, Mariusz Szczygieł, to ask for his thoughts and advice for their film projects based on five of the true stories he tells in it. Szczygieł replied that for a film-maker, the best author is a dead, or at least a silent one, and that he would prefer to leave them to interpret his stories in their own way. The result is a film in five very different parts, each episode a spin-off from Szczygieł’s originals, rather than a retelling.

This event combines the literary and the cinematic versions, presenting a screening of the film preceded by a discussion with Mariusz Szczygieł about the source of inspiration for his moving and at times shocking accounts of the life stories of the film star who was Goebbels’ mistress, the despotic founder of a shoe-making empire, the sculptor who lost his life creating the world’s biggest monument to Stalin, the writer who reinvented himself for political survival, and the 'human torch' who copied Jan Palach’s fateful gesture as recently as 2003.

1973, 25 minBernard Bugdoł is a miner and legendary leader of socialist labour in the 40’s and 50’s. Showing few signs of artistic intervention, this film consists of commentar-ies by Bugdoł himself, other miners, his wife and children, interspersed with fragments from a variety of socialist realist material.

WANDA GoSCIMINSkA. A WEAVER

1975, 21 minAbout a female socialist leader and weaver from Łódź. The weaver’s life is thrown onto the socio-political can-vas of pre-war and post-war communist Poland. The alle-gorical and symbolic imagery illustrates subsequent periods of history and draws from socialist realism iconography.

THE PRIMER1976, 9 min Portrayal of the state of the Polish soul in the mid 70s. The reciated primer symbol-izes a key to the way people

communicate and perceive the world and traditions. Tradition is dead, communica-tions between people have become ossified; we know all the letters of the alphabet but cannot put them into the sentences which would express our true selves.

THE CARPENTER1976, 13 minThe film features a fictional character whose curriculum vitae (Wiszniewski’s own creation read by Jan himilsbach) is illustrated by genuine footage showing historical events. The carpen-ter appears to be completely indifferent to politics, to him political changes are mean-ingful only if they have

impact on the level of demand for woodwork.

FoREMAN oN A FARM1978, 14 minPortrait of a real person pre-sented through a storyline which alludes to folk art poetics and is commented off-screen with a witty but bitter song. A retired miner, who moves with his fam-ily to the country to start his own business, suffers a defeat, rejected by the local community. The fiasco of the stereotypes perpetuated by 1970s propaganda.

SUNDAY 12 AprIL4.00pM —— ICAWojciech Wiszniewski has been regarded as the most radical representative of the so-called ‘creational’ movement in Polish documentary of the 70’s. This school renounced the documentary attributes such as: cognitive passivity and minimalism of form and putting film maker as a mere observer and recorder of reality with a use of the fraction of available means of expression. Today ‘creational’ documentaries are fully accepted and acknowledged, however in the 70s that was still a new territory, where

breaking the conventions by employing bold techniques of framing, distorting sound and methaphoric use of editing, special effects and most of all orchestrating scenes and creating the reality before the camera was a huge novelity.

Wiszniewski was a pioneer of these approach and even though his film legacy consists of only 10 short films made before he died at the age of 35, he became one of the most influential Polish documentary directors and the ‘filmmaker of filmmakers’.

SERbIAN EPICS highly original and most formally constructed film Serbian Epics (1992) was made at the height of the Bosnian war, using the siege of Sarayevo as its central image. It includes close up footage of Bosnian Serb politician radovan Karadžic and General ratko Mladič, both later wanted by the international court of justice for war crimes. This multi-layered, ironic, imagistic and at times almost hypnotic study of myth-making and murder aroused a storm of controversy, including questions in the house of commons, at the time of its broadcast.

Pawlikowski uses elements of Yerofeev's cult novel Moscow Pietushki to paint a powerful and complex picture of russia of the time. The film won an Emmy and royal Television Society Award among others.

To celebrate the recent successes of Paweł Pawlikowski’s Ida, winner of this year Oscars® Academy Award for Best Foreign language Film, BAFTA Award for Best Film Not In the English language, and Oscar® nominee for Achievement in Cinematography, KINOTEKA presents a programme of documentary films which commenced Pawlikowski’s career in filmmaking. These highly poetic and imagistic pieces won him fans and awards around the world, including the Grierson Award and

Emmy International. Pawlikowski’s distinctive mixing of facts with elements of the personal and poetic has challenged the boundaries of the television documentary and influenced his later cinematic work.

KINOTEKA invites you to a weekend with Paweł Pawlikowski and his documentaries: a journey into the tragi-comic and absurd life of characters including Vladimir Zhirinovsky or the only living descendant of Fyodor Dostoevsky.

CAMoUFLAGE (bARWY oCHRoNNE)

Written and directed by Krzysztof ZanussiCinematography: Edward KłosińskiMusic: Wojciech KilarCast: Piotr Garlicki, Christine Paul-Podlasky,Poland, 1976, 97 min Zbigniew Zapasiewicz, Mariusz DmochowskiKrzysztof Zanussi’s Camouflage was one of the founding works of Poland’s 'cinema of moral concern'. With a background in physics, Zanussi brought a unique sensibility to Polish cinema - observant and analytical, humane yet utterly unsentimental in probing of the characters’ weaknesses and self-deceptions. Camouflage is regarded as one of his finest achievements, and takes place during a University summer seminar that functions as a microcosm of the power games played in business, politics, or any other arena based on hierarchy and advancement. Jarek is an idealistic junior faculty member who comes under the influence of Jakub, a Machiavellian professor whose attachment to the younger man is ambiguous. Is he nurturing him as a young talent or seeking ways to destroy him?

Followed by a Q&A with Krzysztof Zanussi

THE CRUISE (REJS)

Directed by Marek PiwowskiPhotography: Marek NowickiMusic: Wojciech KilarCast: Stanisław Tym, Jolanta Lothe, Wanda Stanisławska-LothePoland, 1970, 65 minregarded as Polish cinema’s first ‘cult film’, Piwowski’s The Cruise is also considered by many to be a satirical masterpiece. Shot in a quasi-documentary style, with a cast featuring mostly non- professional actors, the absurd plot parodies life in the (then) People's republic of Poland, reducing a weekend river cruise to a hilarious satire of the entire Communist system.

Piwowski's gift of observation, his sense of humour and an acute awareness of national pathology have made The Cruise one of Poland’s most popular and widely-known films of the 1970s.

Followed by a cruise on the Thames with Maciej Obara International and Gideon Reeling. See page 41 for details.

This year Kinoteka is delighted to host Martin Scorsese Presents Masterpieces of Polish Cinema, a selection of 24 of the legendary director's favourite Polish films of the 20th Century, to be screened across April and May.

To introduce the series, film critic and writer Michael Brooke talks us through the collection and its historical relevance...

k i note k a.org.u k

Polish cinema seemed to come out of nowhere. After a painful period of reconstruction post-WWII and the abolition of a creatively stifling policy of Socialist realism, the country’s filmmakers were more than ready to spread their wings. They did so to spectacular effect from the late 50s onwards, exploring Poland’s war-torn landscapes, the more fantastical worlds of the imagination and, as the cracks began to show towards the end of the 70s, the ‘moral anxiety’ of existing within a corrupt Communist society that few Poles actively supported.

Every film in this two-part season, curated by Martin Scorsese and screening in pristine digital restoration, is regarded as a classic at home. Some already enjoy that status here, but others are undeservedly littleknown; Masterpieces of Polish Cinema hopes to change that.

Kieślowski’s masterpiece contributed to a national debate that ultimately ended capital punishment in Poland.

Its frequent scholarly digressions into both art and science anticipated Peter Greenaway by many years.

In the first half, a hapless incompetent becomes a resistance hero; in the second, Polish POWs are anything but keen to escape.

But this is actually one of the great 1960s ‘head-trips’ – an adaptation of Count Jan Potocki’s legendarily labyrinthine 1814 novel into a bewildering but exhilarating lattice of stories within stories within stories.

The retrospective continues with a closer look at some of Poland’s greatest postwar directors. A dozen more Polish film classics, some familiar, but others much rarer, says Michael Brooke:

When Polish cinema first made an international splash in the late 1950s, it was headlined by the work of Andrzej Wajda and Jerzy Kawalerowicz, who each had long and fascinating careers (Wajda’s continuing to this day) that consistently took the temperature not only of Polish cinema but also wider national issues – Wajda’s Man of Iron is also

a key document of the Solidarity upheavals. But their contribution to their national film culture went well beyond their own films. As the head of the Kadr Film Unit, Kawalerowicz also produced many Polish cinema classics (including more than a third of the films in this two-part season), while Wajda mentored numerous younger talents at a very early stage of their careers, including future giants roman Polański, Jerzy Skolimowski and Agnieszka holland, each represented here by a key early work.

NIGHT TRAIN (PoCI A G) Dir. Jerzy Kawalerowicz Cast: Lucyna Winnicka, Leon Niemczyk, Teresa SzmigielównaPoland, 1959, 93 minPsychological thriller about the passengers on an overnight Baltic express.A sleeper train rockets through the night, its passengers possibly including a murderer. Although this isn’t quite as overtly hitchcockian as that sounds, as Kawalerowicz was primarily interested in the quirks that people show in artificial social environments. leon Niemczyk (Knife in the Water) and the director’s wife ludyna Winnicka are strangers sharing a compartment while studiously hiding personal secrets.

MAN oF IRoN (CZŁoWIEk Z ZELAZA)Dir. Andrzej WajdaCast: Jerzy Radziwiłowicz, Krystyna Janda, Marian OpaniaPoland, 1981, 147 min Andrzej Wajda’s masterly study of the excitement of the Solidarity years. As the Solidarity protests swelled in 1980, Wajda grabbed camera and crew, pulled ready-made characters off the shelf (from his earlier Man of Marble) and filmed this story of government-backed espionage against a real-life backdrop of world-changing history unfolding: even lech Wałęsa has a cameo. It won both the Palme d’Or and a domestic ban when martial law was declared in 1981.

Jerzy KawalerowiczCast: Lucyna Winnicka, Mieczysław Voit, Anna CiepielewskaPoland, 1961, 103 minA stark psychological drama about demonic possession in a convent. Notionally, this is based on the same historical events that inspired Ken russell’s The Devils, but Kawalerowicz’s treatment is subtler and more psychologically acute. his wife lucyna Winnicka plays an allegedly possessed abbess whose bona fides are investigated by a hapless investigator who finds himself hopelessly out of his depth when confronted with forces that he does not understand.

PHARAoH (FARAoN)Dir. Jerzy KawalerowiczCast: Jerzy Zelnik, Wiesława Mazurkiewicz, Barbara BrylskaPoland, 1965, 175 minA vast ancient Egyptian epic that’s as much about politics as spectacle. Ancient Egyptians speaking Polish? Well, why not – they didn’t speak English either. Kawalerowicz spent three years making what was once Poland’s most expensive film, a huge widescreen epic about the struggle between rameses XIII and his high priests. But this is no Cecil B. DeMille spectacle: co-screenwriter Tadeusz Konwicki regarded it as 'a penetrating analysis of a system of power'.

AUSTERIA Dir. Jerzy Kawalerowicz Cast: Franciszek Pieczka, Wojciech Pszoniak, Jan SzurmiejPoland, 1982, 102 minA moving and politically controversial tale of anti-Semitic persecution during WWI. Kawalerowicz spent decades trying to realise his most personal project, that allowed him to suggest without tackling the holocaust directly that the culturally-engendered pacifism and passivity of Poland’s Jews sowed the seeds of their later destruction. This was, to put it mildly, a controversial notion, but Kawalerowicz’s sympathy and sincerity is evident throughout.

WALkoVER (WALkoWER)Dir. Jerzy SkolimowskiCast: Aleksandra Zawieruszanka, Jerzy Skolimowski, Krzysztof ChamiecPoland, 1965, 70 minJerzy Skolimowski’s characteristically wayward tale of a washed-up amateur boxer. Skolimowski’s second feature (and first full-length narrative) cemented his status as a one-man Polish New Wave, the rhythms of his films at least as influenced by jazz and (his own) poetry as more conventional storytelling. Skolimowski himself plays a dropout turned itinerant amateur boxer who is distracted from his bouts when Teresa, an old university friend, re-enters his life.

Andrzej Wajda Cast: Tadeusz Łomnicki, Krystyna Stypułkowska, Zbigniew CybulskiPoland, 1960, 91 minAn affectionate but caustic look at early Sixties Polish youth culture. After three successive films about Polish history, Wajda turned his attention to the (then) present, enlisting younger colleagues roman Polański and Jerzy Skolimowski to add verisimilitude to this study of disaffected twenty-somethings. Newly qualified doctor and jazz fanatic Bazyli (Łomnicki) has so little time for emotional engagement that when he actually falls in love he doesn’t know how to handle it.

Wajda’s film vividly captures the turbulence and confusion immediately following WWII, as a former resistance hero turns anti-Communist assassin. Audiences were officially supposed to empathise with his intended victim, but Zbigniew Cybulski’s astonishingly charismatic performance as the morally and politically riven killer crystallised the fears and uncertainties of an entire generation.

After an apprenticeship as Wajda’s assistant, Agnieszka holland made her solo debut with this ambitious ensemble piece, both an allegorical study of cultural interference (a trendy young theatre director is attempting a politically controversial reinterpretation of a Polish stage warhorse) and a lacerating portrait of a withering marriage, its participants actively contemplating suicide or murder as an escape route.

Władysław reymont’s Nobel-winning novel is Poland’s equivalent of ‘hard Times’ or ‘Germinal’, a ruthlessly clear-eyed anatomising of the industrial revolution from the perspective of three young entrepreneurs.

First performed in 1901, Stanisław Wyspiański’s play turns the marriage of a poet and a peasant into a state-of-the-nation allegory about the attractions and pitfalls of national self-determination at a time when independent Poland didn’t exist. Wajda’s splendidly grotesque adaptation pulls out every cinematic stop in emphasising the piece’s phantasmagorical elements as his camera hurtles from reality to fantasy.

THE PERFoRMER

CINEMA MEETS ArT

Dir. Maciej Sobieszczański, Łukasz Ronduda Poland, 2015, 63 min

An insight into the contemporary art world. Based on the life of one of the most original performance artists alive – Oskar Dawicki. The main theme of his art is the search for an answer to the question of whether... Oskar Dawicki ex-ists at all. The trademark of his performances is his blue shining jacket.

We meet Oskar at a turning point of his life, when he learns that his Mentor Zbigniew Warpechowski (himself) is dying. Warpechowski was also mentoring the Dearest (Andrzej Chyra), Oskar’s childhood friend and a rival, who devot-ed himself to more commercial art and became the most profitable Polish contemporary artist.

Oskar has one more complicated relationship in his life: a love affair with his Art Dealer (Agata Buzek). Similar to previous works from Dawicki – the established norms of moral, spiritual and social order are challenged and put on trial. The Perfomer is the first-ever art exhibition in the form of a feature film: Oskar Dawicki’s works are connected on the screen not only by time and space, but also by narrative, drama and emotion.

Followed by a Q&A with Łukasz Ronduda and Oskar Dawicki

This project, organised together with the ICA, celebrates the Polish father of experimental and electronic music, Eugeniusz rudnik. The pretext for the project is the release of the doc-umentary film 15 Corners of the World written and directed by Zuzanna Solakiewicz. The film received the Best Film award at the locarno Film Festival last year (2014) and translates the world of rudnik’s sounds into a visual interpre-tation of the sensual and emotional percep-tion of music. The director says: 'The film is an attempt to hear the music of Eugeniusz Rudnik with your eyes. I have made a film that gives priority to the sound more than to the picture – a film that gives interpretation to the music in order to capture it in pictures – to show sound.'

15 CoRNERS oF THE WoRLDDir. Zuzanna SolakiewiczCast: Weronika Pelczyńska, Anna Wojnarowska, Romuald Krężel,Poland, 2014, 79 min

Screening of the film will be accompanied by a Q&A with Eugeniusz Rudnik hosted by Frances Morgan (The Wire), and an exclusive live perfor-mance of Rudnik's compositions, including his piece written for Arne Nordheim.

6.30pM —— ICA THE CRUISE

(REJS)Dir. Marek PiwowskiCast: Stanisław Tym, Jolanta Lothe, Wanda Stanisławska-Lothe Poland, 1970, 65 minregarded as Polish cinema’s first ‘cult film’, Piwowski’s The Cruise is also considered by many to be a satirical masterpiece. Shot in a quasi-documentary style, with a cast featuring mostly non-professional actors, the absurd plot parodies life in the (then) People's republic of Poland, reducing a weekend river cruise to a hilarious satire of the entire Communist system.

Piwowski's gift of observation, his sense of humour and an acute awareness of national pathology have made The Cruise one of Poland’s most popular and widely-known films of the 1970s.

UK Premiere of the newly restored version in collaboration with Second Run DVD

The cruise, inspired by the iconic film and its absurd humour will immerse the audience in a specially commissioned theatre performance by the upcoming British theatre group, Gideon reeling. Their act will be part scripted and partimprovised for the duration of the evening and will be set in the era of the cult film, building on the aesthetic and the characters of The Cruise and the 1970s. The performance will be accompanied by live music inspired by Polish film music from the 60s and 70s, as well as a DJ set presenting a mixture of 70s party music, film music and comedic music. The performance will be accompanied by live music including the world-famous Obara International with their project Komeda, and some new, specially commissioned works.

Immerse yourself in the feelings of surreality, confusion and the absurd!
