I will analyse interpretations and discourses about the film circulating primarily in Czech press. The aim is to look at how the talk about Kolya developed as several discourses and interpretative strategies were introduced in different attempts to make sense of the film. The time frame I focus on here starts before the film’s release and reaches until the coverage of the Academy Awards ceremony in 1997 where the film received an Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Film. I argue that in this timespan, the film’s value was negotiated and contested prominently along a set of two references – the ‘truthfulness’ of the Czechness it represents, and the importance of international recognition for Czech cinema. I analyse these discourses in the context of changing conditions in Czech cinema after the Velvet Revolution in 1989.","PeriodicalId":52267,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Eastern European Cinema","volume":"13 1","pages":"196 - 210"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80792520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a road movie, Oldtimer highlights how the journey trope imbued visual representations of movement with ideological and political meanings. At the same time, the film exposes the nationalist motivations behind the so-called anti-bureaucratic revolution in Serbia in 1988 and emphasizes television news department staff’s complicity in concealing them. This article argues that, by incorporating television news into its diegetic universe, the film displaced the content presented as informational into the realm of fiction. In this way, Oldtimer not only exposed this case of misinformation but modeled a critical approach to the consumption of television. The paper shows that Žilnik’s work contributed to the broadening of televisual potential for ideological signification, allowing the medium to function not simply as a propaganda instrument but as a space of contestation of different ideological positions. Žilnik’s choice to realize this project as a film for television shows the televisual capacity for self-awareness, and Oldtimer points to the medium’s potential to address the problems that political pressures create.","PeriodicalId":52267,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Eastern European Cinema","volume":"45 1","pages":"293 - 306"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74530293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also examines his position in Polish cinema after his death, especially during the period following the fall of state socialism, what is described here as ‘poststardom’. It argues that Bodo owed his success to two principal factors. One of them was the conducive circumstances in the Polish film and entertainment industry and his ability to exploit them to the full. Another factor was the match between his artistic persona and certain traits of Polish national character and, especially, the fit between the ideas Bodo embodied in some of his films and the image Poland tried to create during the same period. It also claims that after 1989 Bodo’s appeal was augmented because the details of his death, revealed in this period, rendered him the perfect tragic artist.","PeriodicalId":52267,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Eastern European Cinema","volume":"17 1","pages":"128 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81327025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As opposed to flourishing VOD platforms, cinemas have been hit particularly hard and with them film festivals, which had to choose between postponing their terms, becoming online or hybrid, or being cancelled altogether. The article focuses on festivals that either take place in Eastern Europe or are focused on the cinema of the region. It first briefly outlines the history of film festivals in Eastern Europe, then it summarizes the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on cinemas and VOD platforms and finally presents three case studies of festivals and their activities during the pandemic. The three festivals streamed at least some films from their programmes and endorsed other activities, such as online industry events, drive-in cinemas and Virtual Reality events. The study concludes that the degree to which film festivals could successfully take place during the pandemic depended more on the type of festival than on its geographical location or geographical focus. Eastern European festivals were not lagging behind the West in this respect and many European festivals were, in fact, cooperating and learning from one another.","PeriodicalId":52267,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Eastern European Cinema","volume":"55 1","pages":"38 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87915834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To make these films, Kwiek applied the same collaborative formula in different social contexts, producing three sets of ‘1-minute films.’ The first film, Niechcice (1973), consists of sketches co-produced with rural youth. The later films were made at art festivals in 1973–4. This article treats these projects as a triptych: three parts of one whole. Taken together, they move from an experiment in cross-class collaboration to an intimate game among friends. Drawing from the language of Kwiek’s peer Anastazy Wiśniewski, the article parses Kwiek’s critical idiom as an instance of ‘positive negation’ that both affirmed and contested aspects of socialist reality. Kwiek’s procedures for making participatory art anticipated theories of social cooperation soon to be articulated by opposition thinker Jacek Kuroń. In this light, Kwiek’s ‘1-minute films’ are exercises in self-organisation that achieved, if only one minute at a time, the democratisation of social life envisioned by the opposition in this decade.","PeriodicalId":52267,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Eastern European Cinema","volume":"2 1","pages":"70 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86802336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An extraordinarily rich, at times uncomfortably visceral and chaotic parody of far-left terrorism (the RAF or Baader-Meinhof group), Paradise doesn’t feature in any of the myriad publications on the New German Cinema, despite being much more audacious than the work of contemporary German directors. If there is a German film Žilnik’s compelling mix of riotous anarchy, actionist body art, political satire can be compared with, then it is Fassbinder’s The Third Generation (Die dritte Generation, 1979) made after the events and, as we shall see, possibly inspired by Paradise. Žilnik’s ‘German films’ are not straightforwardly German either: they are shot there, they are (for the most part) in German, and they feature German actors, but they bring something from elsewhere; they are, to borrow the title of a contemporary Jean-Luc Godard/Anne-Marie Miéville film that itself addresses cultural and political dislocation, Ici et ailleurs (1976). Thomas Elsaesser is responsible for propagating the terms in my title; they are deeply engrained in the psyche of scholars and students of West German cinema and continue to resonate as a reassuringly simple binary categorisation: ‘contentism’, broadly synonymous with Brechtian political modernism, and romantic ‘sensibilism’ à-la Caspar David Friedrich or the Hollywood road-movie. In the late 1960s the former is associated with the dffb film school in Berlin (Harun Farocki, Holger Meins, Helke Sander), the latter with the HFF in Munich (Wim Wenders et al). Elsaesser acknowledges in his landmark 1989 study New German Cinema: A History – which popularized the contentism-sensibilism binary – that the terminology is not actually his: it had appeared first in Michael Rutschky’s book-length study of the psychology of the 1970s, Erfahrungshunger (‘The Hunger for Experience’, 1979). Rutschky’s thesis is that post-’68 the hunger in West Germany was for experience – qua sensibility and consumption – rather than emancipation. The resulting shift from contentism to sensibilism after 1968 is generally known as the Tendenzwende (‘change of direction’) or simply ‘New Subjectivity’. It is associated with a rejection, in the wake of the perceived ‘failure’ of the student movement, of political action and its associated discourse(s) of progressive politics, coupled with a renewed concern with personal experience and the less reified kinds of language needed to give expression to it. The shift is often dated to around the time Žilnik moved to Germany.

Alicja Helman (1935–2021)

With her demise a certain epoch in Polish film studies has ended. I met her in the mid-1980s. My academic career was just beginning, whereas Helman, widely known simply as ‘Alicja’ was already a distinguished figure in the Polish film studies, author of many books and essays on film theory published regularly in the most prestigious Polish film magazine of the time, Kino. I liked her way of thinking about cinema and tried to give my first writings on film a similar shape, therefore I wanted her to supervise my doctoral thesis. I asked my friend, who happened to know Alicja, to pass her my most recent achievement, a long, around 50.000 words typescript on the filmic narrator. I waited for her to come back to me for several months, which seemed to me like ages, but, most importantly, her reaction was favourable. Alicja agreed to supervise my PhD; later she also reviewed my habilitation work. In the meantime, we became close colleagues, perhaps even friends. Beyond doubt my professional life would have been very different without her. This is my story, but with some minor alterations it could have been a story of many people from my professional milieu in Poland. Alicja exerted an enormous influence on Polish film studies. The time of her professional career overlapped with a dynamic growth of this academic discipline, both in Poland and elsewhere. When she started her work at the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 1955, this discipline was a novelty, represented by a handful of professors, such as Jerzy Toeplitz. Now, several hundred Polish academics carry on research on various forms of moving images, and it would be difficult to find an institution of higher education, with departments of humanities or social sciences which does not conduct this kind of research. Admittedly, it probably would have happened without Alicja, for such was the zeitgeist, but it did happen with her enormous contribution and on her terms. For a long time nothing significant in Polish film studies could have happened without her involvement, be it conferences publications or launching of individual careers. In the 1980s and the 1990s practically all young Polish film studies researchers passed through her hands. She supervised and reviewed doctoral dissertations and habilitation theses. Some time ago Alicja herself told me a story. A young student meeting her for the first time exclaimed: ‘Wow, I can see a monument to Polish films studies’. This statement, probably a sign of the highest appreciation for Helman’s elevated position, and more than slightly ambivalent for her (although she told the story with amusement), was very true. Alicja Helman was, is and will remain a monumental figure in the Polish films studies.
