Women in Polish Cinema, with Ewa Mazierska

From the archetypes that defined female characters on screen to the directors who pushed back against them. In this episode of Polish Cinema for Beginners we turn the lens on the women of Polish cinema — who they were, how they were depicted, and what it took to make films in an industry dominated by men. Taking us through this landscape is Ewa Mazierska — Professor of Film and Cultural Studies at the University of Central Lancashire, and co-author of Women in Polish Cinema, the definitive English-language study of the subject.--This podcast is part of Polish Cinema for Beginners — a project by the Wrocław Film Foundation, bringing Polish cinema closer to international audiences. Co-produced by Academic Radio LUZ, with special thanks to their Department of Culture.New episodes alternate between films and topics, so there's always something to learn about Polish cinema.
