The presented study shows that hagiographic structures infiltrated film narratives about soldiers of the Polish underground fighting for independence after World War II and fulfil communicative functions analogous to their literary versions. The undertaken research leads to the conclusion that what dominates are persuasive functions aimed at shaping patriotic attitudes and promoting values which influenced the characters modelled on historical figures of the so-called indomitable soldiers (or "cursed soldiers") who opposed the communist power in Poland.

Filmowe adaptacje dzieł Williama Shakespeare'a-monografia pod redakcją Olgi Katafiasz, wydana w serii "Literatura na Ekranie" redagowanej przez Alicję Helman, znacząco wzbogaca obfity już dorobek piśmienniczy poświęcony problematyce anonsowanej tytułem serii. Koncepcja tomu, jak również jej indywidualne, autorskie realizacje przekraczają granice definicyjne adaptacji jako transformacji, polegającej na dostosowaniu dzieła do potrzeb nowego medium oraz odmiennego kręgu odbiorców 1. W polskim piśmiennictwie filmoznawczym z perspektywy teoretycznej temat ten podejmowali przede wszystkim Maryla Hopfinger, która rozpowszechniła u nas rozumienie adaptacji jako przekładu intersemiotycznego 2 , Alicja Helman oraz Marek Hendrykowski. Ten ostatni jest także autorem naj

The main components of modern Polish religiosity are shown as they are exhibited in film works perceived as part of modern visual culture. The examination also comprises most frequently and typically tools used for communicating or revealing the transcendent sphere in the contemporary Polish films, such as Christ-figures-including apocryphal ones and parables. They are considered as a narrative patterns used in visual artistic communication.

The author points out the merger of stylized realism and of the nostalgic (or to be more precise – the realism stylized by means of nostalgia) as constitutive for the film style of this film artist. As a result of film analyses, the narrative structures of Piwowarski’s films appear to be memory structures, as they re-create the reality remembered by the filmmaker, who usually chooses the topos of a trip down memory lane to express his personal and subjective point of view. The film’s story becomes the image of the subjective reality, since it is a product of personal memory, consciousness and imagination. Piwowarski refers to the motif of the Valley of Childhood and Youth, vivid and active in the Polish literature and cinema, as an universum closed up in the past and lost forever, which, however, is accessible through the activity of recalling....

Communicative function of genre structures of contemporary polish film hagiographyThis article is divided in three sections. In the first one the author tries to investigate definitions of film hagiography functioning in the Polish film study writings. The basic research leads her to believe that this is the phenomenon hardly recognized theoretically, although in The World Encyclopedia of Religious Film eds. M. Lis, A. Garbicz there are many specific examples of film hagiographies, mentioned and characterized. The second part of the text is filled out with analyses of concrete film works. The Author concentrates in her procedure on communicative functions of the characteristic structures and genre conventions of these films. She points out that the majority of film hagiographies, especially those produced by independent producers, overtly continues the model of literary hagiographies known as the Gesta Sanctorum. They dev...
