The
Cinema of Moral Anxiety is not merely a collection of film reviews, but collates
them by theme, providing intertextual connections with other texts. The faculty
also highlights directors and actors who have been flying under the radar, but
which have been picked up by TFU Control Tower. (The faculty is still in the editing
room, and is temporarily unavailable.) |

The
cinema of moral anxiety existed from 1974 to 1980 in Poland. A series of films
made by directors such as Krzysztof Kieslowski and Agnieszka Holland, this movement
in feature film strove to awaken social consciousness. Their
precursors were the Polish documentaries of the 1960s and 1970s, which played
a dual roles of artistic and political comment, and which strove to depict reality
as it was and not as the Communists claimed it to be. Bibliography:
