Polish cinema of the 1970s became a voice of doubts and internal protest. These films look at a person through the lens of moral choice, showcasing loneliness, contradictions, and the search for oneself in a world where everything has long been predetermined. An intellectual conversation about important matters awaits viewers at the meeting in Mayakovka. In the 1970s, Polish cinema experienced one of its most powerful creative upsurges. Directors working within the framework of what is called cinema of moral anxiety explored the personality of a person under the harsh social constraints and contradictions of the socialist system. These films did not just tell stories - they uncovered painful questions of morality, duty, personal freedom, and responsibility. At the meeting in Mayakovka, viewers will be able to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of those years and learn how directors, under conditions of censorship and political restrictions, created deep, truly human stories. We will discuss why they addressed the theme of life in the provinces, how they constructed their hero images, and what methods they used to express their positions. Special attention will be paid to key figures of the era: Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Zanussi, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Agnieszka Holland, and Wojciech Marczewski. Their work became not only an artistic phenomenon but also an important milestone in the history of Polish and world cinema. For all those interested in the history of cinema, social transformations in Eastern European culture, and moral philosophy - this event will be a true find. The next lecture in the series will focus on the reflection of these themes in Soviet cinema. Don’t miss the opportunity to start with Poland - a country where the screen became a mirror for the questioning person. We share how to organize leisure in St. Petersburg.
