Przestrzenie Banacha

1926. The Szkocka café in Lviv. Among the café guests is a group of mathematicians – Banach, Mazur, Ulam, Stożek, Szuder. A heated discussion is underway. These young mathematicians are employees of the Jan Kazimierz University. The world will soon hear about them. The most brilliant of them was Stefan Banach (1892-1945). Who was this brilliant self-taught man? How did he end up in Lviv? Although he was one of the most outstanding scholars of the 20th century, not many photographs depicting his interesting life have survived. To this day, he remains a little-known figure in Poland. Due to the poor photographic documentation, as well as the complete lack of film archives concerning Banach himself, it became reasonable in this case to use fictionalized scenes that recall important events in the scholar's life and bring his character closer to the audience.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
