In December in Bratislava, Slovak Republic
EAST OF PARADISE
is part of the OFF THE MAINSTREAM program



East of Paradise is a new documentary film of one of the most significant contemporary representatives of the New York, so-called underground film - Lech Kowalski.
There are two main lines: one is Kowalski’s own memories of the birth of the punk rock scene in New York and often even surreal situations connected with them. In the hectically cut archive materials there appear various personalities of the underground and avant-garde art of the 70s. It is a kind of introductory collage to rebellion, psychedelic visions and attempts of artistic expression by alternative means. The second line is a contrast to this: memories of the director’s mother Maria Werla Kowalski, who really openly tells a dramatic story from the Soviet communistic gulag, where she was deported from Krakow after the “liberation” of Poland by the Red Army in 1945. The strong authenticity, natural speech and mimics of Mrs. Kowalska in relatively static views create an extraordinarily tense atmosphere and a strange tension at the same time in connection with the New York line.
