About this event
Polish Film Talk
This screening will
be introduced by Michael Brooke, a freelance writer specialising in
central/eastern European cinema. He’ll
be giving an extensively illustrated talk about Polish films with child and
teenage protagonists, sometimes bearing witness to great events of the 20th
century, sometimes wrestling with more everyday concerns.
Filmmakers covered include such big names as Krzysztof Kieślowski and Andrzej Wajda, as well as ones who've specialised in this subject, like Dorota Kędzierzawska, Wojciech Marczewski and Katarzyna Rosłaniec.
Back Then (15 Cert TBC) (original title Zupa Nic) - Marta is a romantic
and a victim of fate. She shares a room with her sister Kasia and their
grandmother, who tells her granddaughters insurgent stories instead of fairy
tales. In the room behind the wall, their parents Tadek and Elzbieta live their
married life. He is an intellect, constantly humiliated by the system, who
silently envies his prosperous brother-in-law. She is the president of the
company's "Solidarity" with the need for freedom and a dream to
finally break out of Poland. However, the real emotions for the whole family
start when the dream orange toddler stands under the block.
