This book offers a unique perspective on contemporary Polish
cinema's engagement with histories of Polish violence against their
Jewish neighbours during the Holocaust. Moving beyond conventional
studies of historical representation on screen, the book considers
how cinema reframes the unwanted knowledge of violence in its
aftermaths. The book draws on Derridean hauntology, Didi-Huberman's
confrontations with art images, Levinasian ethics and anamorphosis
to examine cinematic reconfigurations of histories and memories
that are vulnerable to evasion and formlessness. Innovative
analyses of Birthplace (Lozinski, 1992), It Looks Pretty From a
Distance (Sasnal, 2011), Aftermath (Pasikowski, 2012), and Ida
(Pawlikowski, 2013) explore how their rural filmic landscapes are
predicated on the radical exclusion of Jewish neighbours, prompting
archaeological processes of exhumation. Arguing that the
distressing materiality of decomposition disturbs cinematic
composition, the book examines how Poland's aftermath cinema
attempts to recompose itself through form and narrative as it faces
Polish complicity in Jewish death.
