POLISH HISTORY IN FILM

Generations is a full-length docudrama made for the anniversary of Feature Film Studios (WFF). The Studio produced some four-hundred and fifty titles, and of those Zaorski selected the fragments of just under fifty to tell the story of contemporary Poland. The fragments of films, starting with Andrzej Wajda鈥檚 A Generation (1955) and on to the works of Ch臋ci艅ski, Has, Kutz, Pola艅ski and further still to Holland, Kie艣lowski, Marczewski, Zanussi, form a story about Poles from the times of the Nazi occupation, through to the period of Stalinist terror, the unfulfilled expectations of the Gierek Era, Martial Law and the elections of June 4th 1989.

Screening introduced and followed by a discussion on historical memory.
