Kierunek Wschód. Kulisy realizacji filmu "Mamo, czy kury potrafią mówić?"

Abstrakt

The author analyses the first, unsuccessful Polish-Belarusian co-production of the Semafor Film Studio – "Mamo, czy kury potrafią mówić?". The project, which was initially planned as another, simple in terms of complexity of the studio’s film production, became one of the studio’s largest and most demanding projects. The researcher tries to shed some light on what the reasons behind this decision were. Using archive data and information obtained in the process of conducting in-depth interviews with former employees of Semafor, he places the studio in the broader landscape of film production, and indicates what factors determined the final failure of the project as a co-production with the Belarusians.
