On March 22, 2024, the Kosmos Cinema hosted a preview showing of the latest documentary film directed by our lecturer – Dr. Dagmara Drzazga, Prof. at the University of Silesia. We return with a short photo report to at least slightly convey the atmosphere prevailing in the cinema hall at that time. We would like to thank all the guests and congratulate all the creators!

The film "Zagłębie. MEMORY" tells the story of the extermination of the Jewish population in the Zagłębie region during World War II. The documentary's creators follow a group from the World Union of Zagłębie Jews from Israel, Canada, and the United States, who came to Poland to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liquidation of the ghettos in Będzin and Sosnowiec. The film utilizes unknown survivor accounts and many unique archival materials, both radio and photographic.

After the screening, there was a discussion with the film's heroes and some of its creators. Among those present was Danuta Niciarz, who remembers the extermination of the Jewish population during the war in Zagłębie.

The production team, in addition to two lecturers from the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School at the University of Silesia - Dagmara Drzazga (script, director) and Krystyna Nowojska (producer), also included: Witold Kornaś, Michał Sławiński, and Bartosz Dominik (cinematography), Jakub Laki Jędras (aerial photography), Andrzej Piwowarczyk (sound), and Beata Widuch (editing and sound design).

The production was made by TVP SA Branch in Katowice for TVP Historia, 2024. The documentary was co-financed by the University of Silesia's Research Excellence Initiative.

We invite you to the exhibition of graphics titled "You Are All Beautiful" by Samanta Stochla, an official of the Organizational Office for Educational Services at the K. Kieślowski Film School of the University of Silesia.

A woman's calling is to BE, and by the mere fact of existence, A WOMAN IS BEAUTIFUL.

On the path of creative search and experiments, the artist manifests the joy of creation and recreating herself anew. Collages refer to the sphere of dreams and actual events. Equally strong is the archetype of the wanderer in her work, as Samanta Stochla is constantly on the move.

"You are all beautiful, my friend..." the artist speaks to herself and through herself. She also speaks to every Person regardless of gender. Be your own favorite subject. You are worth it.

The works were created between 2021-2024.

Samanta Viktoria Stochla - artist and journalist (born 1976). In her work, she explores the concept of VOCATION, as a life path, and EXPERIMENT, as a way of life. She creates ceramics, watercolors, computer graphics, oil paintings, mixed media, and jewelry. As a journalist, she specializes in interviews. She completed, among others, ceramics at the Faculty of Fine Art with an additional faculty in Critical Cultures (BA Fine Art with Critical Cultures) at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Interfaculty Postgraduate Journalism Studies at the Pontifical Academy of Theology in Krakow, and master's studies in Film and Television Production Organization at the Faculty of Radio and Television of the University of Silesia in Katowice.
