Semiotyka twarzy kata i ofiary
Semiotics of the hangman and victim’s facesMurderous ideologies drive and fabricate innumerable forms of social falsehood. One of the objects of the perfidious falsification of reality generated in the totalitarian system is the human face. Drawing on classics of Polish and world cinema, and also on the memory of culture, Marek Hendrykowskis study contains a semiotic analysis of the deep structures of images, which present the executioner-victim based on violence executioner as a variant of inter-human relations in totalitarian systems.Semiotics of the hangman and victim’s facesMurderous ideologies drive and fabricate innumerable forms of social falsehood.

Budowanie warsztatu aktora (casus Zbigniewa Cybulskiego)
Building the at of acting (casus Zbigniew Cybulski) 2017 brings two important anniversaries: the 90th anniversary of the birth (1927) and 50th anniversary of the death of Zbigniew Cybulski, Polands foremost actor of the 1960s and the hero of his time. His image (dark sunglasses, leather jacket, worn jeans and sneakers and ever-present backpack) was imitated by thousands of Poles. For Cybulski one of the most important means of expression were gestures. This was very important in one of Cybulskis first films - Ashes and Diamonds. Cybulski developed his arsenal of acting expression in subsequent films, including: Night Train, See you tomorrow, No more divorces, The Saragossa Manscript, Salto, The Codes, Jowita.Building the at of acting (casus Zbigniew Cybulski) 2017 brings two important anniversaries: the 90th anniversary of the birth (1927) and 50th anniversary of the death of Zbigniew Cybulski, Polands foremost actor of the 1960s and the hero of his time.

Guerilla Tv i wideo art jako narzędzia w walce z telewizyjnym establishmentem Stanów Zjednoczonych
Guerilla Tv and video art as a tool in the fight against the television establishment in USAAn article is based on the issue of the main mediated model of one-way communication connected with the mass media and looks at the problem of television networks in USA in the 1960s and 70s, which was highly influential. This political and cultural situation had been developing out of techni- cal innovations and become a point of departure for considering alternative video communication, which stood up against the institutionalized television regime. At this time, video art and especially Guerilla Tv were the bearers of the new communication order, at the same time breaking the imposed socio-political discourse.Guerilla Tv and video art as a tool in the fi ght against the television establishment in USAAn article is based on the issue of the main mediated model of one-way communication connected with the mass media and looks at the problem of television networks in USA in the 1960s and 70s, which was highly influential.

Acting Styles of the British New Wave
Acting Styles of the British New Wave British New Wave cinema is typically associated with two groups of actors. One includes those with an established position (such as Peter Finch, Laurence Olivier or Dirk Bogarde), and the other those at the beginning of their film career. The latter group seems to be much more interesting in terms of their lives, background and their methods of work. Most of them come from a working-class, non-artistic background (from which the directors of New Wave films asked them to draw inspiration). However, all of them received a solid theatrical education. In this way, a unique collage of skills and experience was created, the elements of which produced a very interesting artistic result. This sheds new light on the phenomenon of the British New Wave: actors, graduates of renowned schools, known from the most famous theatres and troupes (such as the Royal Court Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company or the Old Vic) end up in films where they are supposed to play characters from the lower social classes, speak their language and make reference to their own memories and background
Poszukiwania i fascynacje Antoniego Bohdziewicza (1906-1970)
The quests and fascinations of Antoni Bohdziewicz (1906-1970)The author analyses in detail the structure of the leading role based on the film “I’m yours” His analysis takes into account acting skills, the relations between the protagonists and adversaries and also cinematic time and space. He appreciates the role played by the screenwriter and establishes the principles for cooperation between actors and the director.The author analyses in detail the structure of the leading role based on the film “I’m yours” His analysis takes into account acting skills, the relations between the protagonists and adversaries and also cinematic time and space. He appreciates the role played by the screenwriter and establishes the principles for cooperation between actors and the director.This article is devoted to the director Antoni Bohdziewiczs creative output and teaching work at the Łódź Film School, to commemorate the 110th anniversary of his birth. The author presents Bohdziewiczs early days as a director at Polish Radio in Vilnius, and also his work as a film critic. A significant moment in Bohdziewiczs life was his leaving for Paris on a scholarship on Prof. Władysław Tatarkiewicz’ recommendation, where he produced several short films. On returning to Poland, Bohdziewicz enjoyed success mainly as a reporter for Polish Radio and also as the co-founder of the Imagination Theatre (Teatr Wyobraźni). When war broke out he got involved in underground activities, becoming one of the organisers recording the events of the Warsaw Uprising on film. Bohdziewiczs post-war activities were significantly affected by his appearance at the Filmmakers’ Congress in Wisła (1949), at which he spoke out against introducing the ideas of socialist realism. Bohdziewicz never felt fulfilled as a director, despite producing several films, including documentaries, feature films based on contemporary themes and literary adaptations. His true passion remained his lecturing work at the Łódź Film School. The article quotes many of his pupils and protegees, including Andrzej Wajda, Janusz Majewski, Kazimierz Kutz, who saw him as their master, and their artistic and spiritual guide through those times. Without exception they emphasise how Bohdziewicz lived solely for the School. In his later years he was strongly associated with the Film Discussion Club movement; he occasionally worked in theatre, wrote, and taught at the INSAS Film School in Brussels. With hindsight and from his pupils’ remembrances, it becomes clear just how invaluable his teaching work at the Łódź Film School was The quests and fascinations of Antoni Bohdziewicz (1906-1970)The author analyses in detail the structure of the leading role based on the film “I’m yours” His analysis takes into account acting skills, the relations between the protagonists and adversaries and also cinematic time and space.
