	Polish Film School - Biocrawler
		Polish Film School (Polish Polska Szkoła Filmowa) refers to an informal group of Polish film directors and screenplay writers active between 1955 and approximately 1963.
		It took advantage of the liberal changes in Poland after the 1956 to portray the complexity of Polish history during World War II and German occupation.
		The Polish Film School was the first to underline the national character of Poles and one of the first artistic movements in Central Europe to openly oppose the official guidelines of Socialist realism.

	History - Freedom on the Fence
		When asked in 1946 by the Polish Film Department to design posters, they agreed- but with the stipulation that the work be based on their own artistic terms, not the typical advertising clichés of the past.
		Films and other cultural events (opera, theater, circus), soon became the impetus for much of the great poster work that was done during the 50s and 60s, a period that became known as the Polish School of Poster.
		The heyday of the Polish School led by Tomaszewski was over by 1965, but a younger generation of artists worked alongside the great masters.

	Lotna - A film by Andrzej Wajda
		The film aroused passionate debate and objections because, it was maintained that Wajda, by presenting a battle between the cavalry and thanks that had never taken place, had been unfaithful to the truth.
		For all of that, the film remains a significant one both because of the reasons that led Wajda to make the film, and because, in spite of its shortcomings, the film managed to carry the intended message to the Polish audience for which it was intended.
		Polish units may not have engaged in senseless actions such as the depicted cavalry charge, but it was ill equipped to fight the much more technologically advanced German Army.

	Film Society of Lincoln Center
		Krauze’s film, one of the first to attempt to show contemporary Poland as it is, was based on real-life events and depicted people with whom the thirtysomething middle-class audience could easily identify, in settings that captured the ambiance of transition-era Warsaw.
		It should be noted that the title of the film refers both to a play from the beginning of the previous century as well as Andrzej Wajda’s 1973 film of the same name.
		Piekorz’s film, in many ways inferior to Krauze’s, especially in terms of its limp script, was a safe choice—it is both new (it was Piekorz’s debut) and traditional in terms of storytelling, cinematography, and the story’s moral (Piekorz is a graduate of the Katowice film school and a Krzysztof Zanussi protégé).

	Polish Post-War Feature-Film 1945-1995
		Between 1957-1963, 138 feature films appeared on the screens of Polish cinemas, but only 30 of them have belonged to the "Polish School." It was mainly Wajda and Munk who employed the "strategy of the psychotherapist" with the consciousness of executing a specific mission.
		This film presenting the fall of Gierek's era and the birth of the Independent Workers Union "Solidarity" was made by the artist using both the "strategy of the psychotherapeutist" and that of the "clairvoyant," since he questioned the indissoluble nature of the social agreement signed by the government with workers.

		After the period of the political thaw which, among other things, brought to life artistically courageous works of the 'Polish film school', the political authorities again demanded to be the only power shaping people's opinions and their style of life in the country.
		The events surrounding this film confirmed his opinion that between the truth of the film and the truth of the character's inner experience, there exist barriers that cannot be crossed.
		Contrary to the authorities' expectations, the film which was supposed to demonstrate "workers' concern for the future of the country" and "public support for the party's activity" was not brought to life.

	DVDFILE.COM: Andrzej Wajda - Three War Films Review
		Wajda's narrative in the film is incessantly light and fast-paced - despite the film's serious-as-hell thematic motifs - but is able to manifest the multi-faceted truisms of a child's world at war.
		Any war film that showcases fighting and battle idolizes the war it portrays in a certain regard, but Wajda's ace up his sleeve with Kanal is the way he appears almost resigned to glamorize these particular facets of the war that he knows all too well.
		Where the first two films in this trilogy could be argued as looking outward at the war that comes quickly and deftly into the Polish cultural fray, Ashes and Diamonds attempts to weigh that uncomfortable foreign entrance with an assessment and dramatic investigation of Polish popular thought in terms of war and wartime ethics.

	[No title]
		The film became a post-war landmark, however, as a launch-pad for the careers of a number of major artists, including Polanski, associated with the "Polish Film School" (1956-1962).
		The whole film demonstrated Wajda's strategy of "rendering the censors inoperative": profoundly ambiguous scenes, such as the dying Szczuka's embrace of Chelmicki, possessed an extraordinary resonance, which censors, used to the primacy of the spoken word, could not hope to control.
		The film was eventually given limited distribution but had gained such an extraordinary reputation that the Party leadership felt compelled to allow it to be shown more widely, using it as a kind of safety-valve to reduce mounting social tensions.
