“My first film was a Russian film called Hello, The Entrance is Forbidden.
It was a film with children. I believed in the world presented in the film – different from the one I knew.
I wanted to get close to Russian culture. That is why I decided to go study directing in Moscow.”
~ Dorata Kedzierzawska, director (Poland)

Responses from high school students:
Why did you like or dislike about the film?
“I liked the film because it approached racism in a gentle way. It also showed that some people just need to be educated instead of violence, since Alex was a lost soul who just needed guidance and compassion to be shown why his racist worldview was flawed.” |
Use sensory descriptions to describe the film:
“It was dark and generally quiet, with juxtapositions of the loud music, the sounds of the tea, and the conversations. I found myself trying to smell the tea in the process, and it seemed minty.” |
Now Playing on Screen360:
At Screen360.tv, we work with films as tools to prompt reflection, empathy, communication and joy in learning. Isn't that what they're supposed to be? Not historically and not always. Many hold that cinema is only to entertain or to help us escape, not to help us think. One indie filmmaker in particular was branded as a "message" filmmaker and I'm rediscovering the startling relevance of his work today. Stanley Kramer (active 1933-97) recognized the power of cinema in support of social impact because those were the stories that moved him.
