These interviews were recorded in December 2003 at Andrzej Wajda’s School of Directing, in Warsaw. In them, Wajda is accompanied by his colleague Janusz “Kuba” Morgenstern and film critic Jerzy Plazewski.
This short newsreel appeared in Polish cinemas in 1958 to announce the coming of Andrzej Wajda’s much anticipated third film, ASHES AND DIAMONDS.
Film historian Annette Insdorf created this video essay in 2020 to further contextualize ASHES AND DIAMONDS within director Andzej Wajda’s career and trace its influence on filmmakers of subsequent generations.
