The article focuses on topics related to literature, especially to the works of Anton Chekhov, in the latest film by Nuri Bilge Ceylan The Wild Pear Tree. Its main character, Sinan, is a young writer, while the film is set in the province of Çanakkale, where ancient Troy was located. The analysis of the picture shows that the director refers to the historicity of the myth of the Trojan War with distrust. Instead, Ceylan portrays a local community immersed in intellectual stagnation and creates his hero as an extremely unlikeable misanthropist, to whom literature cannot bring fulfillment. The character of his father, Idris, introduces another ancient motif to the film – the figure of Sisyphus. The relationship between father and son, which deepens in the finale, brings an unexpected note of optimism to the picture, which in its dramaturgy resembles Anton Chekhov’s literary worlds.Domalewski Adam, Portret młodego pisarza oraz nawiązania do twórczości Antona Czechowa w Dzikiej gruszy Nuriego Bilge Ceylana [Portrait of a Young Writer and References to European Literature in Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s The Wild Pear Tree]. „Przestrzenie Teorii” 32.

Główne nurty w badaniach nad filmem i religią
Full text linkThe article is a meta-study and provides an original typology of research on film and religion, based on Polish and English academic sources. The author proposes to divide this field of research into four main domains, which he names successively: substantial-theological, anthropological-mythological, socio-cultural and post-secular. The following descriptive criteria were used to introduce this division: the relationship between religion and culture adopted (usually implicitly) in a given direction of research, the concept of both human and religion emerging from them, and the established subject and scope of research, as well as the basic set of tools used within them. The proposed systematic is intended to help capture the significant differences between the main types of research on film and religion, both in terms of research assumptions, methods of analysis, and set goals.The article is a meta-study and provides an original typology of research on film and religion, based on Polish and English academic sources.

Aktorzy filmowi, aktorzy teatralni? Polski rynek aktorski ostatnich lat
Full text linkFilm actors, theatre actors? The Polish actors’ market in recent yearsThe author of the paper analyzes the career paths of Polish film and theater actors in recent years, taking account of social and institutional changes in Polish theater and cinema after 1989. On this basis, current three strategies present in the acting profession are identified: Courtier, Byplay and Celebrity. These three groups are highlighted depending on actors’ artistic achievements and accu- mulated symbolic capital. The main thesis of the article is that leading film actors, who are most successful on the big screen, forsake engagement in theater. While describing this regularity, the author provides specific examples of actresses and actors - eg. Magdalena Cielecka, Andrzej Chyra, Jacek Poniedziałek and Agnieszka Grochowska. The article concludes with considerations about the various reasons why Polands market for film actors and the theater market have split in recent years.Film actors, theatre actors?

Genre and aesthetic analysis of The Jetty by Chris Marker. Interpretation of the film as a case of “possible cinema”
No full textThe paper discusses the French science fiction short film The Jetty (La Jetée) by Chris Marker. Made in 1962, the black and white film is constructed almost entirely from still photos. The author first gives a summary of the plot and then considers the genre and aesthetic syncretism of Marker’s work. Musical, rhythmical and visual aspects of the movie are also covered. Using Waldemar Frąc’s theory of “possible cinema”, whose main ideas are presented in the article, various possible ways of interpreting the film are shown.Artykuł omawia krótkometrażowy francuski film science fiction Pomost (La Jetée) Chrisa Markera. Pochodzący z 1962 roku, czarno-biały film składa się niemal wyłącznie z nieruchomych fotografii. Autor artykułu po krótkim streszczeniu fabuły rozważa gatunkowy i estetyczny synkretyzm obrazu Markera. Omówione są także muzyczne, rytmiczne oraz wizualne aspekty dzieła. Przy użyciu teorii „kina możliwego” Waldemara Frąca, której główne założenia zostały także przedstawione, ukazane zostały różne możliwe sposoby interpretowania filmu
Etiudy animowane Grzegorza Wacławka
No full textThe author considers in the paper three animated etudes made by Grzegorz Wacławek in Film School in Łódź. Films entitled Gleam, Scrap and Lost share many common features: creation of the hero’s outer world, extensive use of symbolism and condensation of events centered around one or two heroes. Particularly interesting mean used by Wacławek in endings of the films is the transformation of the presented world that can be named a scale change. Also on this basis director’s animations are metaphorically interpreted, showing their existential meaning, close to the tradition of Polish Animation School.The author considers in the paper three animated etudes made by Grzegorz Wacławek in Film School in Łódź.

Filmowe rejestracje teatru - opis i problematyzacje zjawiska
Full text linkFilm Recordings of Theater – Description and ProblematisationsThe paper attempts to distinguish film recordings of theater from the TV theater genre. The decisive criterion for this distinction proposed by the author is the chronology of the production process - film recordings of theater performances provide a record of pre-existing theater performances, whereas TV theatre includes all theatre-like productions created for the small screen and which do not have their own stage ‘odginali In each of these cases there are different tasks and difficulties facing producers and executors. The next part of the article focuses on film recordings of theater: the reasons for which they are made (documentation, dissemination, promotion) and the differences between their types. Referring to the work of Jacek Wachowski, the author also presents a brief discussion about the possibilities and consequences of technical mediation of any performances, not only theatrical shows. The article concludes with an attempt to define the status of the film recording of a performance in relation to its original theatrical nature (the “residuum of the theater”).Film Recordings of Theater – Description and ProblematisationsThe paper attempts to distinguish film recordings of theater from the TV theater genre.

‘You’re ignoring the truth’ – Fatih Akın’s Polluting Paradise (2012) and Eco-Trauma Cinema
Full text linkThe paper provides an analysis of the documentary Polluting Paradise (2012) by Fatih Akın within the context of eco-trauma cinema. The movie depicts ecological contamination as a social problem and mutual catastrophe, exactly as the theory of eco-trauma cinema suggests. Through a careful observational mode of filmmaking that characterize Polluting Paradise, the mechanisms that are responsible for environmental pollution are being scrutinized. The author argues that the movie combines documentary techniques with melodramatic structures for the sake of the audience’s emotional involvement. The article concludes with a reflection on the cinematic rhetoric used by Akın to affect the viewers
Forma i znaczenie. Style filmowe we współczesnym kinie artystycznym w praktyce dydaktycznej
No full textThe article provides an overview of predominant film styles in contemporary art cinema. The author treats film style as a concept that supersedes all other categories describing a film work, encompassing both the film techniques used and the narrative and plot structures. Based on this premise, the following styles are identified and discussed: realistic, formalist, minimalist, excessive, and slow cinema. Each of these styles is briefly characterized, and the proposed distinguishing features are used in a short analysis of films that serve as appropriately selected examples of each style. In doing so, the author demonstrates the analytical usefulness of the proposed typology in academic and educational practice.Artykuł stanowi przegląd dominujących stylów filmowych we współczesnym kinie artystycznym. Autor traktuje styl filmowy jako pojęcie nadrzędne wobec wszystkich innych kategorii opisujących dzieło filmowe, mieszczące w sobie zarówno wykorzystane techniki filmowe, jak i struktury narracyjne i fabularne. Zgodnie z tym założeniem wyróżniono i omówiono style: realistyczny, formalistyczny, minimalistyczny, ekscesywny oraz slow cinema. Każdy z nich został pokrótce scharakteryzowany, a zaproponowane wyróżniki wykorzystano w krótkiej analizie filmów stanowiących odpowiednio dobrane przykłady poszczególnych stylów. Autor udowadnia tym samym analityczną użyteczność zaproponowanej typologii w naukowej i dydaktycznej praktyce akademickiej
