Mr. Jones
A young journalist, Gareth Jones, is getting ready to tackle a big story - a rapid modernisation of the Soviet Union. He goes to Moscow to do an interview with Stalin. There he meets a British journalist, Ada Brooks, and thanks to her he discovers that the truth about the Stalinist regime is brutally muffled by Soviet censors. On hearing gossip about a great famine in the USSR, Jones sets out on a lonely journey through Ukraine.
Return of the reveller
It’s 1902 –
Hanka Ordonówna is born; the first permanent cinema was opened in Los Angeles,
and the court denied Thomas Edison exclusive rights to the concept of a film
camera. The same year, the Polish inventor Kazimierz Prószyński, about whom
Louis Lumière was to say: "Gentlemen, this man is the first in cinematography,
I am the second," he directed, recorded and produced the image recognized
as the first Polish feature film: Return of the reveller.
