Piotr Szulkin
PL, 1981, DCP, VO PL ST ENG OND, 96'
It's 1999 and the Martians have landed! A TV presenter balks at peddling pro-Martian propaganda, so ministry goons trash his flat and kidnap his wife. Banned by the Polish government, Szulkin's reworking of H.G. Wells' story stirs double-speak and state-employed crisis actors into a discomfiting alternative reality.
Introduced by Daniel Bird.
