009 - CAMERA BUFF (Krzysztof Kieslowski, 1979) with Jacques Thelemaque

Filip Mosz (Jerzy Stuhr) is a factory worker whose wife (Malgorzata Zabkowska) has just given birth to their daughter. The ecstatic new father buys an eight millimeter camera, and his life begins to change. Filip begins to use the camera all the time, and his boss wants him to film pieces for the factory. Before you know it, Filip’s films are playing well at a film festival, and his amateur hobby begins to threaten the simple happiness he had with his wife and daughter. Is Filip’s awakening to movie art selfish or is he somehow growing into an artist who can add something to humanity? Come along with Bill, Colin and their guest, Producer, Director and Filmmakers Alliance co-Founder Jacques Thelemaque, as they peer through Polish master Krzysztof Kieslowski’s eyepiece to see what they see.
