  CAMOUFLAGE ("Barwy ochronne")

by Krzysztof Zanussi

Before screening there will be short introduction by film critic, Jakub Majmurek.

A group of students are spending the summer vacation at a university camp studying the science of linguistics. One of the camp directors, Jaroslaw, is a young professor who prefers the straightforward, intimate approach to students. He is opposed in his liberal views by Jakub, who likes to manipulate people. There is a confrontation from the beginning when Jaroslaw allows to attend the seminar a student who presents the views not according to the official line. In the end, a jury prize is given to mediocre paper, while the suspected school of thought still draws a recommendation. Finally the deputy rector arrives for the closing ceremonies, and since he disfavors the line of thought awarded by the recommendation the tensions rise. They climax when student in question bites the rector in the ear while receiving recommendation. The confrontation results in a scandal and the police is called in.

FILM REVIEWS:

 No Polish film can match "Camouflage" in terms of philosophical acumen. Zanussi showed the terrible effects of the rotten mentality of the meritocracy based on privilege and institutional affiliation. The issues, which after being run over by a steamroller, are only ruins of sense - that is absurd. (Michał Oleszczyk)

With Andrzej Wajda's 'Man of Marble' (1977), 'Camouflage' helped found Poland's 'kino moralnego niepokoju – cinema of moral concern'. It did so sparklingly, delightfully". (Dennis Grunes)
