🎙 SESTRINSKA SOLIDARNOST - „Angels of Sinjar / Anioły z Sindżaru / Anđeli Sindžara“, režija Hana Polak

U ovoj epizodi istaknuta dokumentaristkinja Hana Polak govori o svom poslednjem filmu, potresnom dokumentarcu „Angels of Sinjar“ o masakru koji je nad jezidskom manjinom počinio ISIS. Polak se fokusira na dva lika: Hanifu i Saida, poredeći - kako ona kaže - žensko i muško iskustvo patnje usled gubitka porodice i svedočenja genocidu. Rediteljka, poznata po izuzetno dugom procesu dokumentovanja (ponekad svoje likove prati i po desetak godina), govori o svojim metodama, emocijama koje oseća tokom snimanja izuzetno teških scena, trenucima kada isključuje kameru i shvatanju svoje dokumentarističke uloge. U epizodi Hanu Polak pitamo i da li i kakav uticaj je snimanje filma imalo na sudbine njegovih protagonista, kao i o edukovanju „zapadnog“ sveta o tragičnim događajima koji često ne dobijaju dovoljno medijske pažnje.

🎙 SISTERHOOD - „Angels of Sinjar / Anioły z Sindżaru”, dir. Hanna Polak

In this episode the acclaimed documentary filmmaker Hanna Polak talks about her latest film, the harrowing documentary ‘Angels of Sinjar’, about the massacre of the Yazidi minority by ISIS. Polak centres her story around two characters: Hanifa and Saeed, juxtaposing - in her own words - the female and male experience of suffering resulting from the loss of family and witnessing genocide. The director, known for her exceptionally long documentation process (she can accompany her characters for up to a dozen years), discusses about her working methods, the emotions that accompany her during the filming of extremely difficult scenes, the moments when she turns off the camera and her perception of her role as a documentary director. In the episode, we also ask Hanna Polak about whether and what impact the making of the film had on the fate of its protagonists, and about educating the wider ‘Western’ world about tragic events that often find little media attention.

🎥 Celluloid Solidarity: Contemporary Polish Filmmakers on Unity in their Work.

The podcast series is part of the project Solidarity on Screen - Polish Presidency Film Review, dedicated to the promotion of Polish films with a solidarity theme and their creators.

Celluloid Solidarity consists of 5 podcasts - narrative monologues created on the basis of in-depth interviews with the most interesting directors from the list of films of the Solidarity on Screen program.

The invited filmmakers are among the most important contemporary Polish filmmakers, recognized and awarded at numerous film festivals. In interviews, the filmmakers had the opportunity to talk about their working methods, their films and what solidarity means to them.

The announcer of the program is Nikola Radić - a prominent Serbian film critic, essayist, author, and translator. The statements of the protagonists are accompanied by his commentary, allowing a better understanding of the context of the creation of the work and drawing attention to the qualities of the films, relevant from the point of view of a non-Polish viewer.

The podcast series was created by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute as part of the foreign cultural program of the Polish Presidency of the Council in the European Union 2025.
