"Hope Is of a Different Colour" edited by Magda Lipska (MMA) and Monika Talarczyk (Lodz Film School) is a story about students from the Global South in the People's Poland during the Cold War.
The book "Hope Is of a Different Colour: From the Global South to the Łódź Film School", edited by Magda Lipska (MSN) and Monika Talarczyk (Lodz Film School), tells about the scholarship programme for the students from the Global South implemented in the People's Republic of Poland during Cold War.
The Film School in Łódź, which since 1955 has belonged to CILECT (Centre International de Liaison des Ecoles de Cinéma et de Télévision / International Association of Film and Television Schools), has also educated filmmakers from Africa, South America and the Middle East who, at that time, constituted a third of its foreign students.
The book sheds light on the experiences and careers of directors and cinematographers studying in Łódź, whilst at the same time providing an insight into issues of racial relations in Central and Eastern Europe. The publication includes unpublished photos from private and public archives as well as stills from student films.
On the cover, there is a double portrait photo of Ewa Strzałka and Sao Gamba, students of the Cinematography Department of the Lodz Film School from 1967, taken by Grzegorz Kędzierski. The title of the book was derived from a poem included in a brochure by Abdelkader Lagtaa from Morocco, a graduate of the Lodz Film School.
Magda Lipska is an art curator and theoretician. Since 2008, she has been working at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. Among her recent curatorial projects the following stand out: "Global Socialist Realisms" (in preparation), "Independent: women and national discourse" (2018), "Register. Avant-garde in China 1993-2003" (2017), "If two seas were to meet "(2015, co-curator: Tarek Abou El Fetouh).
Monika Talarczyk is a film expert and lecturer at the Lodz Film School. She is the author of numerous publications on female film directors. Her main research area is minority cinema (cinema of women, minorities in film culture). In 2014, she received an award from the Polish Film Institute. She is a member of EWA (European Women's Audiovisual network), the Women of Film movement and the Women's Filmmakers Association, and FIPRESCI (International Film Critics Association).
