Cwiczenia warsztatowe (Short 1987)

Cwiczenia warsztatowe: Directed by Marcel Lozinski. TV reporters conduct a street survey, asking random people “How are the youths of today?”. This brief collection of opinions unexpectedly turns into powerful study of media manipulation.

“Some questions about young people in Poland filmed nicely by veteran Polish cinematographer Jacek Petrycki, who may be best known as the cameraman for u0026quot;Europa Europau0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI love the use of black and white. While it does not necessarily add anything artistic to the film, it does give it a different feel. Sort of an impoverished feel. And I love some of the responses. While the u0026quot;I am in a hurryu0026quot; response is typical, the idea that an opinion on such a neutral topic could be dangerous or wrong is interesting. Who doesnu0026#39;t have an opinion about kids today? The youth themselves are more talkative, and not in the most positive way. They say things like u0026quot;we have no futureu0026quot; and u0026quot;our prospects have been destroyedu0026quot;. Not in the cynical way of Americau0026#39;s youth, but as though they really mean it. And, as Communism ended, perhaps they felt it deeper than most.”
