Eurovisions #7: Poland
Film notes by Tony Earnshaw, Bill Lawrence.

The NMPFT Eurovisions project continues with a major focus on Poland during the 10th Bradford Film Festival, highlighting the cinema of the largest country about to join the European Community.

The selection of new and recent productions reflects the way Polish filmmakers have already confronted the immense changes in the political and commercial circumstances of their country.

Eurovisions: Poland
There will be a showcase of the work of one of the top Polish stars today, Cezary Pazura - one of the most popular personalities on Polish screens, large and small. His mini season - the first time his work has been featured in the UK – will include a selection of the satiric comedies that made his name at home.

Eurovisions will also host the premiere of his latest film, a lavish adaptation by Wiktor Grodecki of the controversial 1927 classic by Stanislas Witkiewicz, Insatiability.
We are also delighted to present the international premiere of the new film
by Polish 'old master' Andrzej Wajda, Zemsta (Revenge), a period comedy with
a cast headed by Roman Polanski.

The films of Cezary Pazura include the Polish part of Kieslowski's trilogy Three Colours: White, the contemporary gangster comedies Sting and Boys Don't Cry (co-starring and directed by Olaf Lubaszenko), Nothing's Funny, an hilarious send-up of the film industry, and The Career of Nikos Dzymos, a mordant satire on Polish politics with Pazura playing an alcoholic gravedigger who becomes the country's first and most courted spin-doctor.
