In times when values are in crisis, it is
extremely important to be broadcasting clear
signals about the reality we live in ― signals
that would help us decide where to go from here.
Cinema had always been pointing out good choices.
The problem for film makers is to create
true-to-life and emotionally stimulating visions
of our world. The Wedding ― or rather our work
with Wojtek Smarzowski ― made me realize for the
umpteenth time that the role of film producer is
to assist and serve. A moving work with
significance for all may be created only when we
respect what the artist has to say to us. I think
we did well this time. Anna
