Film zvani želja
A book by a celebrated Polish director in which he talks about his films, as well as the social engagement of artists and "the conflict between social patronage and the personal world view of a director who makes films".
"I was never overly worried about the opinion of the government, about its reservedness or resistance to some of my films and projects. My real concern was the auditorium, especially when I couldn't get there. But it's time to finally say why I care was that freedom necessary? Why did the artist have to be free only to be able to delve into the soul of my society and express its hopes, its illusions! The state patron could not replace me In that task, why should the official know this secret better than I do? Is it by virtue of his profession? I don't think that the silence of the official cabinets and the scenarios that are discussed for a long time at the sessions, could lead to great success. On the contrary, such consultations result in ordinary stupas, creations without a human face, without a soul."
