| Polish filmmaker Andrzej Wajda is concerned that political films are losing their appeal in Europe. |
| The director, who rose to prominence in Europe after World War II, said this after he received a lifetime achievement award at the Berlin Film Festival, contactmusic.com reported. He said people have lost the political perspective after major events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall. He said: "Cinema can speak to people's consciences. I don't think I have wasted this life because I have contributed something to the course of political events. When the Wall still stood, everyone wanted to know what was happening behind it." He added: "You had all these large cinemas, which were filled to the last seat. But there is no audience for political films now and it is pointless if there is no audience." |
