The sensitivity of Polish filmmakers towards the plight of the simple people, as well as issues concerning the spiritual state of contemporary man and social processes of 21st century civilization, deserves recognition and respect. In making their films, these filmmakers often address subjects that are controversial, surprising, or even forgotten. They show images of the world and people's emotions, about which we, the audience, sometimes may not have the slightest idea, not realizing that they exist and occur, often right next to us. Polish documentary films are certainly worth the wait. WWW.PISF.PL/EN This latest publication on Polish documentary films features our selection of film projects produced in recent months. Many of these have already been successful in the festival circuit, often winning prestigious awards. In 2012, documentaries by Polish filmmakers screened at almost 250 film festivals, including such renowned events as IDFA in the Netherlands, DOK Leipzig in Germany, Visions du Réel in Switzerland, and Hot Docs in Canada. Over 50 awards and special mentions in 2012 alone serve as proof of worldwide appreciation for Polish documentary filmmakers. The ‘Polish Documentaries’ catalogue also features a number of fresh projects that have yet to be released. I am confident that several of these titles will gain international acclaim. 5 CONTENTS POLISH DOCUMENTARIES 2012/2013 WWW.PISF.PL/EN Documentaries 6 INDExOFDIRECTORS INDExOFPOLISHTITLES CONTENTS INDExOFDIRECTORS INDExOFPOLISHTITLES Abu Haraz WRITTENANDDIRECTEDBY Maciej Drygas tel. +48 501 319 003, e-mail [email protected] CO-PRODUCEDBY Telewizja Polska SA CO-FINANCEDBY the Polish Film Institute 74MIN POLAND2013 Abu Haraz is a village in the desert of North Sudan. For centuries, its inhabitants followed the rhythm of nature determined by the flooding of the Nile. Their stern, albeit joyful, world is now in danger. The plan to build a gigantic dam means that their village is to be flooded and their existence as they know it will end. The protests of Abu Haraz residents have no effect and they are soon displaced. Once again, tradition clashing with socio-economic progress produces human dramas.

With help from the local Christian Orthodox community, a wooden Orthodox church and a monk residence were built. The place is visited by crowds of pilgrims, attracted by the extraordinary personality of the archimandrite. But will it always remain so? Will he find his successor? The life of a hermit isn’t for everyone; candidates seem to drop out one after another.

He found Poland to be a strange place, where people queued for hours as if wanting to spend time together, yet not talking to each other. They performed strange rituals at large stadiums. The rain was louder here, as if it was a country of deaf people, and in wintertime, evil ‘white water’ fell from the sky; water that did not relieve thirst. Amon decides to perform a voodoo ceremony, calling on the spirits of the ancestors to free Poles from the evil powers. A battle ensues, in which the dead and the living unite in a joint war effort. A metaphysical look at Poland under Communism through the eyes of a visitor from a different culture.

This is a story of an agitprop train, which at the beginning of 1920s leaves Moscow for Berlin, only to come to a standstill on a sidetrack in Koluszki near Łódź. Baumgart invited art historian Andrzej Turowski to take part in the project. This encounter resulted in an unusual work, provoking reflection on the genealogy of modernist avante-garde. The book poses numerous questions about the truth of history and the point of using sources in art history; it is full of humour and fluently combines different literary conventions.

The name ‘Katowice’ was annulled by a decree of the Council of State dated March 7, 1953. Was the idea to commemorate the Soviet leader an initiative of the local residents? Why exactly was Katowice chosen for this honour? The director shows the events of the day in a wide context. Lech Majewski and Michał Smolorz, both born in Stalin City, share their personal comments, while historians, art critics, and researchers in the field of literature and urban studies evoke the spirit of the era.

This documentary, rich in unique archive footage and staged sequences, features interviews with people who were close to Rolleczek, but also her ideological opponents. The film also covers the story of Natalia Rolleczek’s acquaintance with Karol Wojtyła (Pope John Paul II), their encounters during the underground movement and when he was already Pope, as well as issues with censorship, family dramas, and spiritual struggles.

Bednarski – sculptor, action artist, creator of installations and video art, poster designer. Born in Krakow, lives in Rome. His works have been exhibited in the world’s top galleries and art centres. In 2010, Bednarski’s monument of Frederic Chopin entitled ‘La note bleue’ was opened for public access in Vienna’s Schweizergarten. Bednarski also designed monuments for his deceased friends, including Jerzy Grotowski, Mario Schifano, and Krzysztof Kieślowski. He designed the monuments commemorating Czesław Miłosz in Krasnogruda and Bolesław Leśmian in Zamość. He was also known for his unorthodox approach at the ‘shadow monument’ of Federico Fellini in Rimini. Bednarski’s film portrait has the potential to be as much a total work as one of his early works entitled ‘A Total Portrait of Karl Marx’. An extraordinary tale about a truly exceptional contemporary Polish artist, placed in context of the key cultural and social events in late 20th century Poland.

This was the place to be for filmmakers and film school students. It was frequented by almost all key figures of Polish cinema, including Roman Polański, Zbigniew Rybczyński, Barbara Kwiatkowska, Jerzy Kosiński, Adam Holender, Jerzy Skolimowski, Janusz Majewski, Daniel Olbrychski, Jerzy Hoffman, Kurt Weber, and Ewa Wiśniewska. Honoratka was often the space where film concepts, production designs and casting ideas sprung to life. According to Jerzy Hoffman, there were only two places in post-WWII Poland where one could talk about important issues without alcohol: the Legia pool in Warsaw in the summer, and Cafe Honoratka in Łódź year-round.

INDExOFDIRECTORS INDExOFPOLISHTITLES WWW.PISF.PL/EN Polish Film Insitute POLISH DOCUMENTARIES 2012/2013 CONTENTS 89 CONTENTS The Polish Film Institute (PFI) carries out the statutory tasks of state policy in the field of cinematography. Among its other duties, it is responsible for creating conditions for the development of Polish film production and international co-productions. PFI provides subsidies and loans (in the case of films with significant attendance potential), acting within the framework of its Operational Programme priorities. INDExOFDIRECTORS In 2013, there are four Programmes: In 2013, PFI will spend over 32 million EUR to carry out its tasks. 1. Film Production PFI subsidizes both film production and project development. The participation of PFI in a film production underwritten by foreign funds is possible if Poland co-produces said film in accordance with the European Convention on Co-production, and artistic contribution of Polish artists is commensurate with the assumed co-production participation on the Polish side. The minimum co-production, contribution is at least 10% of the financial or financial-and-material input in the case of a multilateral co-production and at least 20% of a bilateral co-production. Subsidy of such a project by PFI carries with it an absolute necessity of spending at least 80% of the subsidy within Polish territory. In the case of a minority co-production, the minimum contribution of Polish artists is also specified: (22.28 million EUR): Objectives: screenwriting schoparships (250000 EUR), project development (1.37 million EUR), production of feature films (15 million EUR), documentaries (2.37 million EUR) and animations (3.3 million EUR). 2. Education and Dissemination of Film Culture (4.25 million EUR): Objectives: film education WWW.PISF.PL/EN and professional training, film events, local film initiatives, digital reconstruction and preservation of film archives, as well as research and development. 3. Development of Cinema Infrastructure (2.82 million EUR): Objectives: modernization of cinema houses and co-financing of digital projection equipment. 4. Promotion of Polish Films Abroad POLISH DOCUMENTARIES 2012/2013 (1.98 million EUR). 90 INDExOFPOLISHTITLES in a feature film – employ at least one Polish artist, i.e., set designer, director of photography, editor, composer; in a documentary – fulfill at least one of the following terms: use material from Polish film archives; introduce a Polish character; employ a Polish cinematographer, composer or editor in the production; in an animation – employ at least one Polish artist, i.e., animation director, storyboard writer, layout artist or composer, and prepare a substantial part of the animation in Poland. topic Feature film author’s film maximum 'difficult' film* amount of subsidy in EUR historical drama 1 mil. 500000 1.75 mil. 750000 1 mil. 750000 children’s film, family film Documentary Animation or series 500000 author’s film 250000 150000 historical 375000 250000 author’s film 750000 375000 historical 750000 375000 children’s, family 750000 375000 for mass audiences 500000 PFI provides grants of up to 50% of the estimated project costs, subject to quota limits set for film types and topics (see table below). A ‘difficult’ movie project (film trudny), including a directorial debut or a director’s second outing, may receive a grant of no more than 70% of production costs, but not in the case of a minority co-production. For international co-productions, including minority productions, percentage limits of the subsidy are calculated on the basis of the total funding from the Polish side. However, for international co-productions, including minority productions, with a Polish director, percentage limits of the subsidy are calculated on the basis of the total budget. Applications to PFI must be submitted via the Internet at https://wnioski.pisf.pl, with subsequent submission of the actual documents to the Institute. Applications are accepted three times a year: session I/2013 15 Nov 2012–15 Dec 2012 session II/2013 minority co-productions 500000 (European film**) 375000 (non-European) for mass audiences The lead producer of a minority co-production with Polish participation must demonstrate recognized and significant achievements as a producer.

Evaluation results and funding decisions are announced after 90 days. The decision is valid for six months and its validity may be extended for up to six consecutive months. Return of the donation is required if a film has generated profit within the first six years after its première. 15 Mar 2013–15 Apr 2013 session III/2013 15 Jul 2013–15 Aug 2013 * A film with artistically ambitious content and form, of limited commercial value, also a director’s debut and second film ** A film whose leading producer is based in an EU member country or in a country participating in the European Economic Area agreement.
