Polish dean views cinema problem
The world of cinema is no longer a closed world, according to Jerzy Toeplitz, dean of the Polish Film School.
Toeplitz discussed cinema in Eastern Europe last night in the Kansas Union. He is a guest this week of KU's radio-television-film department and the department of Slavic and Soviet area studies.
The first common denominator, he said, is the principle of nationalization. Cinema in Eastern Europe is state-owned, but the initiative has been removed "from the ministries and has been given to the film makers themselves."
Toeplitz, who is president of the International Federation of Film Archives and vice-president of the International Film and Television Council, a division of UNESCO, outlined four basic characteristics of East European cinema.
The second basic element of Eastern European cinema is the
fact that cinema is considered a duty of the government, he said.
"Cinema is considered an important art, not just entertainment," he said.
Russian influence on the other Eastern European countries after 1945 is a third element. Liberation by the Russiam army is primarily responsible for this.
Toeplitz will speak to the KU Film Society following a showing of the Polish experimental feature film, "Salto," at 8 p.m. today in 303 Bailey Hall. The meeting is open to members of the film society and membership may be purchased at the door.
Toeplitz said the idea that the film school is "the nursery of future film makers" has become a fourth basic element. At present, graduates of European film schools are beginning to enter the film-making industry. Toeplitz said it has taken them from five to six years to ripen.
A report published by the American Cancer Society shows that most children who begin smoking in school come from homes in which one or both parents smoke.
