A retrospective of work by the Polish cinematographer, who worked with Polanski and Haneke, to screen at the festival.
Camerimage, the cinematography festival held in the Polish city of Bydgoszcz, is to pay tribute to the late Jerzy Lipman with a retrospective of his work.
Films shot by the Polish cinematographer will be screened as part of Camerimage’s Remembering the Masters series throughout the 22nd edition of the festival (Nov 15-22).
Included in the series will be Kanal (1957), Knife in the Water (1962), A Generation (1955), The Ashes (1965) and Colonel Wolodyjowski (1969).

Ratings (out of five): ***
Directed by Andrzej Wajda -- a four-time nominee for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, as well as the maker of the masterpiece Ashes and Diamonds (1958) -- Korczak is a Holocaust picture and a biopic about a real-life Polish hero. Janusz Korczak (played by Wojciech Pszoniak) was a teacher, author, and doctor who took it upon himself to care for 200 orphans during the Nazi occupation of Poland in WWII. As far as I can tell, Korczak never received a release in the United States, other than possible festival dates. Now Kino has graced it with a new DVD and Blu-ray release.

Henryk Goldszmit is Polish icon Korczak.
Academy Award winning Polish filmmaker Andrzej Wajda (Katyn) directs the 1990 biographical film drama Korczak.
In the 1930s, Henryk Goldszmit became a Polish icon through his writings, teachings, and radio programs for children, which he created under the name of Janusz Korczak. In later years, when the Nazis invaded Poland, the Jewish Korczak and his orphans are moved into the newly formed Ghettos, where he scrounged for food and vainly tried to protect the children from the violence and famine outside their walls. When the kids from his Warsaw orphanage were deported to the gas chambers of Treblinka, Korczak refused to abandon them, and with them he died in the Holocaust.
Written by Agnieszka Holland (In Darkness) and shot in stunning black-and-white by Robby Muller (Dead Man), Korczak stars Wojciech Pszoniak as the kind and fiercely committed Pole.

Polish film was an early frontrunner, before occupation forced wave after wave of talent abroad. Its fortitude is embodied by Andrzej Wajda – still going strong 50 years after his first feature
There aren't many traces on the internet of the early Polish pioneers: people such as Kazimierz Prószyński and Bolesław Matuszewski who were operating at the turn of the century, turning out silent short docos called things like Ślizgawka w Łazienkach (Skating-rink in the Royal Baths). (Prószyński was also a pioneering camera inventor, developing a model called a pleograph in 1894, and a handheld effort called an aeroscope in 1909.) Nor is there any link for Anton in Warsaw for the First Time, Poland's legendary first feature film, directed by and starring Antoni Fertner in 1908.
Fertner, though, went on to a respectable career as an actor in the interwar period – you can see him as an old man in Książątko (1937, above) and Gehenna...
