Generations is a full-length docudrama made for the anniversary of Feature Film Studios (WFF). The Studio produced some four hundred and fifty titles, and of those Zaorski selected the fragments of just under fifty to tell the story of contemporary Poland. The fragments of films, starting with Andrzej Wajda’s A Generation (1955) and on to the works of Chęciński, Has, Kutz, Polański and further still to Holland, Kieślowski, Marczewski, Zanussi, form a story about Poles from the times of the Nazi occupation, through to the period of Stalinist terror, the unfulfilled expectations of the Gierek Era, Martial Law and the elections of June 4th 1989.

Screening introduced and followed by a discussion on historical memory.
