The saying „May you live in interesting times” has been reflected nowadays, unfortunately. It is undoubtedly a difficult time. That is why we should all stick together. Despite harsh words we may say to each other, and despite the demands or expectations we have of the world, let us hold hands firmly otherwise it will be difficult to endure and survive it all. Let us preserve freedom and energy, the values I’ll always protect. All the best – these were the words and Christmas wishes of prof. Mariusz Grzegorzek, the Rector of the Lodz Film School.
