| | Polish culture: POLISH CINEMA DURING THE PERIOD 1989-1999 |
 | | The film tells the history of the cinema in general - but this version of history is as fantastic as all the other films of this director. | | | Polish cinema after the political turning point of 1989 was dominated by a nihilistic, dark vision of man. Older artists, who knew that it would be difficult to rebuild their communication with the audience, remained silent during that time. | | | Non-commercial Polish cinema of value is interested mainly in people placed somewhere in the middle - not in "wolves" from rich homes, with beautiful cars in their garages - and not in "sheep" from shelters for the homeless. |

| | Students learn how to view cinema works in their social, economic and historical contexts, as well as in terms of the general history and aesthetics of art. | | | The Department of Cinema develops artists and creative thinkers in cinema. | | | Both production and analysis courses are valuable to a wide range of students, not only because cinema is a major art and entertainment medium of our time, but also because increasingly our experience and exploration of all areas of knowledge is transmitted through cinema-related media. |

| | See Houshang Golmakani, "A History of the Post-Revolutionary Iranian Cinema," Chicago Film Center's 10th Annual Festival of Films from Iran (1999), http://www.webmemo.com/iran/articleview_2.cfm. | | | Today, Iranian cinema is recognized as one of the most innovative and exciting in the world, and films from Iranian directors are being screened to increasing acclaim at international festivals. | | | The key to resolving the apparent contradiction between Iran's repressive image and the renaissance of Iranian cinema is to understand the relationship that developed between art, society and the state after the Islamic revolution. |

| | Czech New Wave Cinema: The Children of Marx and Kafka PopMatters Film Feature |
| | Rarely placed in the Czech New Wave canon, Lemonade Joe is a Czech western that spoofs American cinema with obvious affection and demonstrates how Czech New Wave wasn't limited to rumination on the history, politics and art of Eastern Europe. | | | The poem is tucked between drawings of swastikas, suggesting that their relationship might have been very different, if they had met before the inextricable tangles of culpability and history predicted in the childish scrawls of her swastikas. | | | This context meant that art appearing to be devoid of political content (in the West) only appeared so because, unlike in the West, art "itself" was intrinsically politicized in its Eastern European context. |

| | The cinema of Hong Kong is one of the three major threads in the history of Chinese language cinema, alongside the cinema of China and the cinema of Taiwan. | | | Cantonese cinema virtually vanished in the face of Mandarin studios and Cantonese television, which became available to the general population in 1967; in 1972 no films in the local dialect were made (Bordwell, 2000). | | | In this landscape of pulp, there remained some ground for an alternative cinema or art cinema, due at least in part to the influence of the New Wave. |

| | Moreover, hypermediacy has always existed in the history of Western art as an "evil twin", whether as demonstrated by Bolter in the "17th century Dutch cabinet", consisting of 50 different pictures painted on its panels, or in the form of the 20th century modernist art of collage and photomontage. | | | The presentation method chosen is a sort of "Andreas Mokros-style" soap-opera with a vectorized background, painted like comics, and garnished with real photographs. | | | Interaction is possible by means of a "magic wand" interface (remote-controller) at the editing points, when Mephisto enters close-ups to talk directly to the audience – who then point in the chosen direction. |

| | UW Press - : A History of the French New Wave Cinema, Richard Neupert |
| | The French New Wave is one of the most significant film movements in the history of the cinema. | | | Understanding this general sentiment of a French cinema that had lost its cultural significance and artistic edge helps one appreciate that the arrival of what would be announced as a "wave" of new young directors really was an exciting change and even a victory for journalists and film buffs. | | | Throughout the world, cinema was seen as an important cultural barometer, and it was not lost on the French that, while Japan and Italy were earning greater respect each year, France was floundering. |

| | Local and Global Identity: Whither Hong Kong |
| | For much of its history, Hong Kong was a Crown Colony of Britain, yet it had created a distinct cinema that had nothing or little to do with Britain. | | | This has remained true as a general principle in spite of the recent critical writings of Hong Kong cinema that have appeared in the West, and while Hong Kong cinema has won cult admiration from its legions of "fanboys", its character and identity remains something of an enigma. | | | Hong Kong cinema is a transnational cinema because of its success in exporting films to the region, This success has been maintained since the end of the Second World War. |
