dir. Andrzej Fidyk

North Korea, late 1980s. The communist authorities hold enormous parades celebrating the 40th anniversary of Democratic People's Republic of Korea and worshipping its leader, Kim Ir Sen. But all this splendor, pomp and incredible lavishness is also to eclipse sports olympics taking part in South Korea.

Wladze komunistyczne postawily sobie za cel zorganizowanie swirta narodowego tak, aby sila wyrazu i rozmachem przycmilo swiatowe swieto sportu.


BATTU'S BIOSCOPE - KINIARZE Z KALKUTY
1998, 59 min, Poland
Polish with English subtitles
dir. Andrzej Fidyk

In India, there are still 2,000 mobile cinemas, one of which is Battus Bioscope, a colorful vehicle, containing an old Soviet projector, a few white cloth sheets, and several kilometers of celluloid film. Mr. Battu drives slowly along the sun-scorched roads of India, his quarrelsome assistant Mama at his side and the young Amit sitting on top of the truck, announcing the next show through a loudspeaker. The elderly Battu is an idealist who things you can change people by showing them films. The film crew accompanies his team from Calcutta to the distant Orissa province. This is the dwelling place of primitive tribes, whose way of life hasnt changed for thousands of years. After years of trying, Mr. Battu has finally been issued a permit to show a film to these people who do not even know cinema exists.

Okolo dwóch tysiecy objazdowych kin wciaz podrózuje po Indiach. Jedno z nich nalezy do pana Battu, który wraz z kalekim staruszkiem o imieniu Mama oraz mlodym pomocnikiem, Amitem, jezdzi po spalonych sloncem indyjskich drogach, nie spieszac sie i co jakis czas zapowiadajac przez megafon nastepny pokaz. Pan Battu jest idealista, wierzy, ze moze zmienic swiat i ludzi, pokazujac im filmy. Jego kompan, staruszek Mama, ma odmienne pogaldy. Twierdzi, ze wraz z jego smiercia kino objazdowe zaknoczy równiez swoja egzystencje. Te sprzeczne opinie nie przeszkadzaja im w dotarciu do jednej z prowincji, której mieszkancy nie zmienili swojego sposobu zycia przez tysiace lat i nie maja nawet pojecia o istnieniu kina. Pan Battu pragnie pokazywac im filmy.
