Warsaw Uprising<\/strong>\u00a0(2014, Poland, 87min)<\/span>
is the first documentary film in the world to use archive footage alone in order to create an original story which is faithful to historical events. The author of the film imagined the story of the Warsaw Uprising (1 August – 2 October 1944) seen through the eyes of an American pilot who has escaped a Nazi camp and two young Polish reporters who film various episodes illustrative of life during this period. The original images have been colourised and the sound remastered.<\/span>

Warsaw Uprising – a few historical details
<\/strong>Poland was invaded by Nazi troops on 1 September 1939. Seventeen days later, Soviet Union troops broke through its borders.
When Hitler decided to invade the Soviet Union, some of the combat took place on Polish territory, decimating the population and destroying even more infrastructure. Nazi concentration camps were soon set up and entire categories of civil society were massacred, notably Jews, who, in Poland as in the rest of occupied Europe, were \u2018cooped\u2019 in ghettos.
The Warsaw ghetto, facing threats that it would be \u2018demolished\u2019 at the beginning of 1943, rose up and put up a fierce resistance to the Nazi troops. This insurrection, known as the \u2018Warsaw Ghetto\u2019, lasted from 19 April until 16 May. Those Jews who survived were deported and around 15% of the City was destroyed.
In 1944, German troops pushed back the land which lay to the east, harried by the Soviet troops who had regained the advantage. In this set-up, the Soviets were part of the group of \u2018Allies\u2019, just like the Americans, the British, the French, the Belgians, etc. However, the inhabitants of Warsaw, the city in which the Resistance (the\u00a0Interior<\/strong>\u00a0Army<\/strong>;\u00a0Armia Krajowa<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>in Polish or\u00a0AK<\/strong>) was extremely active, were suspicious of Stalin\u2019s intentions. In order to meet the Soviet troops \u2013 who were gradually liberating the Polish territory \u2013 in a strong position, the decision was made to organise an uprising in Warsaw. It broke out on\u00a01st August 1944 at exactly 17:00\u00a0<\/strong>(\u2018W\u2019 hour). Exhausting street battles, executions, rapes and massacres were daily occurrences in the city in which the resistants, the majority of whom had not been mobilised, the youngest members of society and women, with little or no training in handling weapons, lived on hope alone as the weeks dragged on. The Nazi troops, who had copious amounts of weapons and ammunition, refused to budge. The AK resisted with amazing obstinacy, using the sewers to connect the regiments. When the Soviet armies finally arrived at the gates of the city on 10 September, they decided to stop on the bank beside the Vistula and thus didn\u2019t help the insurgents, even preventing supplies from getting through. The Uprising was deemed a failure. On\u00a02 October\u00a0<\/strong>1944, General B\u00f3r-Komorowski surrendered.
More than 15,000 Polish combatants perished in the battles, along with almost as many Nazi soldiers. It was above all the civil population that suffered as a result, since more than 150,000 lost their lives. 25% of the city\u2019s buildings were destroyed during the battles and a further 35% after the defeat, when Hitler ordered the systematic destruction of homes in the city. In all, over the course of the war, more than 85% of the city of Warsaw was destroyed.
Interesting fact: at the very moment when the inhabitants of Warsaw were revolting, the\u00a0First Armoured Division<\/strong>\u00a0(Pierwsza Dywizja Pancerna<\/em>), commanded by General\u00a0Stanis\u0142aw Maczek<\/strong>, was liberating Flanders! After participating in the Normandy campaign in the First Canadian Army, the Division moved towards the Belgian border and crossed Flanders (Ypres was liberated on 6 September) to reach the Dutch border (Breda was liberated on 29 October 1944).
In order to commemorate the liberation of Flanders by General Maczek\u2019s troops, the Polish Institute, in collaboration with the Embassy of the Polish Republic in Brussels and 9 Flemish cities and municipalities, is organising the\u00a0Polish days in Flanders<\/strong>\u00a0(Dni Polskie we Flandrii).

The author of the film imagined the story of the Warsaw Uprising (1 August - 2 October 1944) seen through the eyes of an American pilot who has escaped a Nazi camp and two young Polish reporters who film various episodes illustrative of life during this period. The original images have been colourised and the sound remastered.+++ More information in the\u00a0document attached to this webpage\u00a0and on the film's\u00a0website.Film concept and production -\u00a0Jan O\u0142dakowski,\u00a0Piotr \u015aliwowskiDirector -\u00a0Jan KomasaScript consultant, consulting director -\u00a0W\u0142adys\u0142aw PasikowskiScript -\u00a0Joanna Pawlu\u015bkiewicz,\u00a0Jan O\u0142dakowski,\u00a0Piotr \u015aliwowskiEditing -\u00a0Joanna Br\u00fchlEditing supervision -\u00a0Milenia Fiedler PSMColour grading supervision -\u00a0Piotr Soboci\u0144ski Jr,\u00a0PSCDialogues -\u00a0Joanna Pawlu\u015bkiewicz,\u00a0Micha\u0142 Sufin,\u00a0W\u0142adys\u0142aw PasikowskiVoice casting directors -\u00a0Magdalena Szwarcbart,\u00a0Miriam Aleksandrowicz,\u00a0Agnieszka MatysiakDubbing directors -\u00a0Miriam Aleksandrowicz,\u00a0W\u0142adys\u0142aw PasikowskiSound design -\u00a0Bartosz Putkiewicz,\u00a0Kacper Habisiak MPSE,\u00a0Marcin Kasi\u0144ski MPSEMusic -\u00a0Bartosz Chajdecki\nWarsaw Uprising - a few historical detailsPoland was invaded by Nazi troops on 1 September 1939. Seventeen days later, Soviet Union troops broke through its borders.When Hitler decided to invade the Soviet Union, some of the combat took place on Polish territory, decimating the population and destroying even more infrastructure. Nazi concentration camps were soon set up and entire categories of civil society were massacred, notably Jews, who, in Poland as in the rest of occupied Europe, were \u2018cooped\u2019 in ghettos.The Warsaw ghetto, facing threats that it would be \u2018demolished\u2019 at the beginning of 1943, rose up and put up a fierce resistance to the Nazi troops. This insurrection, known as the \u2018Warsaw Ghetto\u2019, lasted from 19 April until 16 May. Those Jews who survived were deported and around 15% of the City was destroyed.In 1944, German troops pushed back the land which lay to the east, harried by the Soviet troops who had regained the advantage. In this set-up, the Soviets were part of the group of \u2018Allies\u2019, just like the Americans, the British, the French, the Belgians, etc. However, the inhabitants of Warsaw, the city in which the Resistance (the\u00a0Interior\u00a0Army;\u00a0Armia Krajowa\u00a0in Polish or\u00a0AK) was extremely active, were suspicious of Stalin\u2019s intentions. In order to meet the Soviet troops \u2013 who were gradually liberating the Polish territory \u2013 in a strong position, the decision was made to organise an uprising in Warsaw. It broke out on\u00a01st August 1944 at exactly 17:00\u00a0(\u2018W\u2019 hour). Exhausting street battles, executions, rapes and massacres were daily occurrences in the city in which the resistants, the majority of whom had not been mobilised, the youngest members of society and women, with little or no training in handling weapons, lived on hope alone as the weeks dragged on. The Nazi troops, who had copious amounts of weapons and ammunition, refused to budge. The AK resisted with amazing obstinacy, using the sewers to connect the regiments. When the Soviet armies finally arrived at the gates of the city on 10 September, they decided to stop on the bank beside the Vistula and thus didn\u2019t help the insurgents, even preventing supplies from getting through. The Uprising was deemed a failure. On\u00a02 October\u00a01944, General B\u00f3r-Komorowski surrendered.More than 15,000 Polish combatants perished in the battles, along with almost as many Nazi soldiers. It was above all the civil population that suffered as a result, since more than 150,000 lost their lives. 25% of the city\u2019s buildings were destroyed during the battles and a further 35% after the defeat, when Hitler ordered the systematic destruction of homes in the city. In all, over the course of the war, more than 85% of the city of Warsaw was destroyed.Interesting fact: at the very moment when the inhabitants of Warsaw were revolting, the\u00a0First Armoured Division\u00a0(Pierwsza Dywizja Pancerna), commanded by General\u00a0Stanis\u0142aw Maczek, was liberating Flanders! After participating in the Normandy campaign in the First Canadian Army, the Division moved towards the Belgian border and crossed Flanders (Ypres was liberated on 6 September) to reach the Dutch border (Breda was liberated on 29 October 1944).In order to commemorate the liberation of Flanders by General Maczek\u2019s troops, the Polish Institute, in collaboration with the Embassy of the Polish Republic in Brussels and 9 Flemish cities and municipalities, is organising the\u00a0Polish days in Flanders\u00a0(Dni Polskie we Flandrii).
