Camouflage
(1977)
Directed by Krzysztof Zanussi
Monday - September 24 - 7:00 p.m.
In Camouflage by Krzysztof Zanussi, Jaroslaw
and Jakub clash over politics and education at a
university summer linguistics camp in Communist
Poland. Jaroslaw, a young liberal professor, allows
a student whose views drift from the official line
to attend the seminar, and Jakub, a manipulator,
is furious. As awards are given out at the end of
the camp, there is tension between the faculty as
mediocre students who stick to the Party line are
given top nods. With an introduction by Jaroslaw
Kuisz, editor of Kultura Liberalna. Polish language
with English subtitles. (2K DCP. 106 min. Not
Rated.) U.S. Premiere 2K DCP screening!
THE CINEmA OF mOrAL dISqUIET
Polish directors coalesced into "The
Cinema of Moral Disquiet" (kino
moralnego niepokoju) looked deep
into the origins of morality. From
1976 to 1981, these filmmakers
created tightly-focused stories of
individuals forced to work through
their beliefs and values in a politi-
cally-charged world of ambiguities,
with morality prioritized behind per-
sonal ambition and expediency. The
films are sponsored by the Depart-
ment of Polish Studies, Themester,
College of Arts and Sciences, Rus-
sian & Eastern European Institute
and IU Cinema.

Blind Chance
(1981)
Directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski
Monday - November 12 - 7:00 p.m.
Krzysztof Kieslowski's Blind Chance tells the
story of Witek, who is at a crossroads in his
life and must make a decision each choice
potentially disastrous. Called `transcendental,'
the film uses this initial setup to explore three
different trajectories that could result from
Witek's decisions, each from a different point
of view. The plot of the film was set by the
Polish government's clampdown of 1981,
who subsequently banned the film; it was not
shown publically until 1987. Polish language
with English subtitles. (2K DCP. 114 min. Not
Rated.) U.S. Premiere 2K DCP screening!
