Film and theatre director, script writer and set designer, one of the topmost artists in the history of the world's cinematography, winner of the Oscar Award for lifetime achievement. A student of the Cracow's Academy of Fine Arts in 1946-9, Andrzej Wajda graduated from the National Higher School of Film (Directing) in 1953, to make his debut movie, POKOLENIE / GENERATION , two years later. This story of young lads from the Warsaw neighbourhoods during the Nazi occupation was soon followed by KANAL / CANAL (1957) and POPIOL I DIAMENT / ASHES AND DIAMONDS (1958), the latter based on a novel by Jerzy Andrzejewski. These two films earned Wajda the reputation of a leading director of the new generation in Europe, and initiated the famous Polish School of film-making, a movement which challenged the national tradition of martyrdom and romantic heroism. Wajda's first colour film, LOTNA , was made in 1959 after a novel by Wojciech Zukrowski. 1960 saw

REPORT The Andrzej Wajda - Philip Morris Freedom Prize SPRING 1999 HOME C INEMA is not just art and entertainment," said Polish director Andrzej Wajda in dialogue with German colleague Volker Schlöndorff during a program scheduled at the American Academy in Berlin. "Cinema also has a social, moral, philosophical function. This is often forgotten today." Asked for further clarification, Wajda answered, without hesitation but on a note of nostalgia: "Compare today's cinema with Italian Neorealism, with postwar Swedish and French cinema, and the gap is evident!" Poland's most acclaimed film director had his reasons for speaking out so directly and without compromise on the banality of contemporary cinema. Director Andrzej Wajda On the day before, in the Polish Cultural Institute on Alexanderplatz, he had been honored with the American Cinema Foundation Freedom Award indeed, the ceremony was most impressive. Guests from the United States and Poland, among them Agnieszka Holland, Wajda's favourite collaborator on screenplays, were present. Moreover, the occasion marked the founding of the new "Andrzej Wajda Philip Morris Freedom Prize," to be awarded annually to a promising filmmaker from Central or Eastern Europe, in whose works are reflected the themes of freedom and democracy. The prize will be awarded together with a purse of $10,000 donated by the Philip Morris Kunstförderung. Each July, during the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, an international jury will select the winner of the Andrzej Wajda Prize. In February, on the occasion of the Freedom Film Festival in Berlin, the prize will be officially awarded to the winner. "This is not a lifetime achievement award," says Gary McVey, director of the American Cinema Foundation, "but a prize in recognition of an exemplary moral and ethical message in the art of the cinema.

Andrzej Wajda: Three War Films on DVD Andrzej Wajda's first three features - A Generation Kanal (1957) and Ashes and Diamonds (1958)- are usually regarded as a trilogy because of their common concern with the Polish experience of World War II. They demonstrate a director and his collaborators rapidly growing in artistic assurance, in part because the political thaw that occurred throughout Eastern Europe after Stalin's death enabled them to deal with increasingly complex themes and characters. Wajda and his cinematographers also built upon the stylistic innovations of recent American and European cinema, helping gain recognition for Poland as a vital national cinema in its own right. The Criterion Collection's excellent box set entitled Andrzej Wajda: Three War Films presents all three films in new high-definition transfers with thoughtfully chosen special features.

Our European world will grow old but young, healthy barbarians will learn our language, fall in love with our past and our culture, and because of them our work is worth our while. To anyone interested in the history of European cinemas, Andrzej Wajda’s name is synonymous with endurance and an ability determine and answer the most pertinent questions asked by his fellow Poles and other Europeans at a given historical time. In 1999, he offered one such an answer to Poles by directing Pan Tadeusz , a grand adaptation of a Romantic epic, at the time when Poland was becoming a member of the UN, and the discussions of its membership in the European Union were well under way. Unlike Wajda’s older films, which at the time of their release attracted a high arthouse praise and devotion from elite directors and audiences around the world and in Poland

Download a video clip Andrzej Wajda: Ashes and Diamonds By Derek Malcolm Thursday May 6, 1999 There was a time, and it now seems long ago, when Polish cinema was admired throughout the West. Before capitalism and the market had their evil way, it was characterised by a deep sense of a fractured national identity and by an extraordinarily sharp idea of how a tragic history affected ordinary people. This renaissance, in the Stalinist 50s, was substantially due to the emergence of a world-class director in Andrzej Wajda, whose wartime trilogy of A Generation, Kanal and Ashes and Diamonds remains one of the finest achievements of Eastern European cinema. A Generation is about a group of young men and women fighting in Occupied Poland; Kanal is the terrible story of the final, abortive Warsaw uprising. But arguably the greatest in the trilogy is Ashes and Diamonds, in which Zbigniew Cybulski became a star - almost a European James Dean.
