Place: Poland / Topic: World War, 1939-1945 - Detroit Housewives League

Description:: Dr. Izabela Kalinowska, professor of European Languages at SUNY-Stony Brook, delivers a talk entitled, "The Vicissitudes of Remembrance: From Early Polish Cinema's Depiction of World War II to Roman Polanski's The Pianist." Kalinowska puts Polanski's film "The Pianist," within the context of Polish-made films about World War II and also compares it to Polanski's other films. She describes the death and devastation the war caused in Poland, the resurrection of a Polish film industry under Soviet control, and how the war is recalled and portrayed. Kalinowska uses excerpts of "The Pianist" and other films to demonstrate her point. She answers questions from the audience. Kalinowska is introduced by Michigan State University Professor Keely Stauter-Halsted, acting director of the MSU Jewish Studies Program. Kalinowska speaks at the annual Esther and George Kessler Lecture on Jewish Film and Media. Part of the MSU Libraries' Colloquia Series. Co-sponsored by the Jewish Studies Program. Held at the MSU Main Library.
