Szczepanski reviews a book by Lucja Demby The harmony of the world. Nikita Mikhalkov's work in film (2009). This pioneering monograph is a truly original book. This is also an excellent example of aesthetic sensitivity and writing talent that is rarely found in film literature. Demby's monograph is impressive in terms of its methodological consequence and rigorous coherence of her research perspective. Szczepanski points out, that on top of detailed reconstruction of Mikhalkov's ideology as an artist, Demby attempts to present the director's individual stylistics. He also points out, that Demby gives a true show of her erudition when dealing with the music that is used in Mikhalkov's films. Szczepanski concludes that this exceptional monograph should be translated and promoted abroad, particularly in Russia.

The film 'Mamma', made by the Swedish theatre director Suzanne Osten, forms an interesting challenge to the autobiographical cinema. The subject of the film is a fragment of Gerd Osten's life, the mother of the director. So that the film appears to fall within the biographical film category rather than any other. However it is difficult to ignore the fact that Suzanne Osten made her first film about her own mother, which additionally highlights the intimate nature of the documentary. Gerd Osten was a respected film critic, and an unfulfilled film maker. The main theme of the movie is Gerd Osten's failed pursuit of self-expression through film, which at the same time adds the autobiographical and auto-thematic dimension to the work: the daughter fulfils her mother's dream, reconstructing in her film the portrait of her mother as a woman utterly concentrated on fulfilling this dream, but unable to do so. The relation between the daughter and mother presented in 'Mamma' is ambivalent. On the one hand the daughter admires her mother for her determination, her creative passion and ambition. On the other hand it is clear that this had negative and destructive consequences: an unhappy childhood for Gerd Osten's daughters and schizophrenia later on in Gerd Osten's life.

The report was prepared by members of the Committee on Art Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The authors present a short characteristic of Polish film studies, which, as elsewhere, became a popular university discipline in the 1970s. In Poland film studies developed as sub-specializations within departments of Polish philology and Cultural Studies. Only recently independent film institutes, departments and courses were created. The authors present the discipline as it appears in film studies monographs published in Poland, they also mention research institutes worthy of note, their representatives and the most important publications from the last five years. The report also deals with the question of popularizing knowledge, film studies journals and the desired directions for the development of the discipline.
