Syllabus
  • This class is devoted to contemporary history of Poland, Hungary and former Czechoslovakia. Historical, cultural and political differences as well as mutually shared aspects of historical development are presented here through motion pictures and chosen cinematographic tendencies of above mentioned countries. Simultaneously, film is introduced here as an important historical source it twofold meaning: distinct historical facts and phenomena are transmitted on the screen, at the same time distinct attention should be paid to the way how a film is made and how its narration is constructed.
