Historia

Krzysztof Zanussi, director de cine nacido en Polonia (Varsovia, 17 de junio de 1939). Es profesor en Universidad de Silesia en Katowice, Polonia. Krzysztof Zanussi, galardonado con el Premio Luka Brajnovic 2006, es un físico y filósofo que trabaja en el mundo del cine, sobre todo como director y productor. Un hombre comprometido que durante su carrera se ha planteado trascendentales cuestiones que se expresan a través de un cine reflexivo y personal, reconocido internacionalmente a partir de los años ochenta. Este director polaco aúna una labor creativa -no sólo ha sido productor, guionista y director de cine, sino también de teatro y ópera- con una profunda preocupación por trasmitir unos valores a contracorriente mediante su obra, enfrentada a los principios que rigen la cultura oficial. Zanussi, que nació en Varsovia meses antes de la invasión alemana de 1939, comenzó su labor cinematográfica durante los años cincuenta, en el Club de Cine Amateur de la Universidad de Varsovia, aunque no es hasta 1966 cuando dirige su opera prima, el proyecto fin de carrera ‘La muerte de un provinciano’, que obtuvo el León de plata en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Venecia. A partir de esta primera película, el cineasta polaco, que ha desarrollado su carrera en Polonia y en el extranjero, inicia una labor creadora que le ha llevado a participar en cerca de cincuenta títulos. Zanussi no ha despreciado durante sus cuarenta años de trabajo ningún formato y ha plasmado sus ideas en la gran pantalla y la televisión, en cine ficción y en documental.

Sodankylä Forever
Self
The Midnight Sun Film Festival is held every June in the Finnish village of Sodankylä beyond the arctic circle — where the sun never sets. Founded by Aki and Mika Kaurismäki along with Anssi Mänttäri and Peter von Bagh in 1985, the festival has played host to an international who’s who of directors and each day begins with a two-hour discussion. To mark the festival’s silver anniversary, festival director Peter von Bagh edited together highlights from these dialogues to create an epic four-part choral history of cinema drawn from the anecdotes, insights, and wisdom of his all-star cast: Coppola, Fuller, Forman, Chabrol, Corman, Demy, Kieslowski, Kiarostami, Varda, Oliveira, Erice, Rouch, Gilliam, Jancso — and 64 more. Ranging across innumerable topics (war, censorship, movie stars, formative influences, America, neorealism) these voices, many now passed away, engage in a personal dialogue across the years that’s by turns charming, profound, hilarious and moving.

Still Alive: A Film About Krzysztof Kieslowski
Self
Maria Zmarz-Koczanowicz directed this insightful TV documentary (2005) tracing the Polish filmmaker's career. Former classmates reminisce about Kieslowski's happy beginnings at the Lodz film school and how his dissatisfaction with some of his early documentaries prompted the dramatic work and stylistic experimentation that led to his monumental series of films The Decalogue (1989). Wim Wenders, Agnieszka Holland, and Juliette Binoche are among the many admirers weighing in on his hard-driving work methods and preoccupation with the ephemeral. In Polish, French, and German with subtitles.

Danish Girls Show Everything
Director
Despite its suggestive title, this multi-part Danish omnibus film is not a work of exploitation. Instead, it presents 20 different short films (back-to-back) on the general theme of Danish women, directed by filmmakers including Krzysztof Zanussi, Monika Treut, Gustav Hamos, David Blair, Vibeke Vogel, Dusan Makavejev, Morten Skallerud and Lars Norgaard. Some dramatic vignettes mix with other comedic ones, but all are offbeat and experimental. The picture includes one animated sequence (by Norgaard).

Imperative
Writer
Polish director Krzysztof Zanussi once more explores the dilemma of intellectualism at the expense of humanity in 1982's Imperative. The story concerns math professor Robert Powell, who feels that there is something lacking in his ever-so-precise life. What is missing is truth, specifically philosophical truth. Thus he philosophizes at great length, allowing director Zanussi plenty of room for didactic but little room for warmth. Leading ladies Brigette Fossey and Leslie Caron occasionally melt through the cold logic of Imperative.
