PRANDUR THORODDSEN, AGE 32, ICELAND
1. I’ve long been interested in cinematography, and sought ways and means to train myself in this field. I heard this school in Lodz spoken of as the best in the world, and decided to come here to study.
2. I believe that the creation of possibilities for students to shoot independently from the very beginning of their studies, and giving them the freedom to choose their subjects and forms, no less than the excellent care of the faculty, most of whose members are themselves professional directors, cameramen, etc., makes for the best type of education. And that is just what the Lodz school provides.
3. As for Polish feature films, I feel sure they will overcome their crisis. On the other hand, documentaries and animated cartoons indicate a high degree of creativity.
JUAN MANUEL TORRES SAENZ, AGE 25, MEXICO
1. I knew about the Lodz school in Mexico.
2. If I hadn’t been convinced it was theh best school for the motion picture arts, ’'d not be now in Lodz homesick as I am for Mexico.
3. I rank Polish cinema art with that small group of the best cinematography in the world. Wajda, Munk, Kawalerowicz represent distinguished and highly diverse talents.
DAVID WILLIAMSON, AGE 32, ENGLAND
1. Films produced by students of the Lodz school were screened at the National Film Theater in London and aroused my interest in the school and in Polish film art.
2 & 3. I can’t answer these questions because I’m taken up with shooting pictures.
JOSE LUIS DI ZEO, AGE 29, ARGENTINA 1. In Buenos Aires I saw some movies turned out by students of the
Lodz school. Then I met the school’s Rector, Professor Jerzy Toeplitz, at the Film Festival in Mar del Plata.
2. lm sure I'll never regret having travelled some 7,500 miles to get here.
3. Poland’s youthful cinema art, with its incessant searching points to an interesting way that leads to an encounter with man — man with problems, with possibilities, setbacks and dreams.
