His satirical poems and songs from the 1950s and '60s today sound more urgent and topical than ever, and are covered by musicians ranging from Finnish avant-garde accordion player Kimmo Pohjonen, to legendary Croatian songstress Josipa Lisac, to the former Bad Seed Hugo Race. The music is produced by indie rock icon Cris  Eckman (The Walkabouts), and expertly mixed with archive footage of Ježek’s own performances and skits, creating a touching and thought-provoking narrative.

His four-part BBC series Ways of seeing opened a whole generation’s eyes. Working on an astonishing range of topics and art-forms, he never lost his belief and lifelong interest in dialogues which over decades created the most unusual artistic collaborations. Realized as a portrait in works and collaborations, this creative documentary takes a different approach to biography, where John Berger leads us in his favorite role as the story teller through his ways of seeing of today.

Wroclaw artist Konrad Jarodzki grabs a few reels of cotton tape and heads for the nearby lignite strip mine. There he stretches a few kilometers of white material, in a wild attempt to harness, so to speak, the space surrounding him.  To this day the contrast between shabby-looking tape cutting through the air and the dominating, intimidating landscape presented on photos from that event is still striking. A fascinating manifestation of the frailty of actions of an individual clashing with nature and culture, but also a testament to the indomitableness of human aspirations in giving meaning to surrounding reality. A symbol of Konrad Jarodzki’s life and work, and perhaps man in general.   Filmography: This film is his 1st feature-length documentary .   Festivals and Awards: Wroclaw Film Festival,2017   ]]> Portrait Wed, 22 Nov 2017 06:21:31 GMT http://old.irandocfest.ir/en/news/2735/in-absolute-silence http://old.irandocfest.ir/en/news/2734/hitler-s-hollywood Director: Rüdiger Suchsland Screenplay: Rüdiger Suchsland Cinematographer:  Anne Burger Edit: Ursula Purrer Producer:  Martina Haubrich Distribution/Sales: Wide House, ac@widehouse.org   Synopsis: Hitler’s Hollywood tells the story of one of the most important and dramatic period in the German cinema history.

During the war, he escaped through the Tunnel of Life multiple times, in order to bring back new films to show in Sarajevo, still during war time.
