Bokiniec and The Movie

Film Discussion Club ŻAK in Gdańsk, the ‘60s and ‘70s of 20th century,
the most outstanding Polish filmmakers, their films and their committed
recipients… A documentary about Lucjan Bokiniec – the originator of
the Polish Feature Film Festival – will recall the times when cinema
truly shaped a man and had the power to change the world. Does
contemporary cinema stand a chance to play a similar role? Lucjan
Bokiniec would have said: “Absolutely! Because nothing is impossible.”
In the film Bokiniec’s ardour, humour and charisma is missed by Andrzej
Wajda, Antoni Krauze, Janusz Zaorski and Józef Gębski, among others –
film directors who owe the Protagonist the most wonderful meetings of
the audience and their films.

The main award of Gdynia Film Festival’s Young Cinema Competition has been named after him.
