Talk:Michał Waszyński

Sources of information

Anybody got any information on this dude? Google is pretty useless and the standerd print sources arn't much help. Give his role in the foundation of Polands cinema, and of some pretty famous movies, its odd that there is such a dearth of info about him.--70.112.236.174 05:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't know a lot, but according to Eve Sicular, he was gay. His Dybbuk added a prologue "establishing the relationship between the fathers of the story’s protagonists, two yeshiva students whose relationship is redolent of same-sex attraction. Their seemingly thwarted love-turned-friendship triggers the tragic actions of the remainder of the film." [1]

I suspect that Sicular has done more research on him than the remarks I heard her make in her talk "The Yiddish Celluloid Closet", and would certainly know what materials there are about him. You could contact her through the booking contact for her band.- Jmabel | Talk 06:50, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Finally something citable on this, if rather terse: http://www.barnard.edu/sfonline/jewish/panel4_07.htm. '…in the course of researching my Yiddish Celluloid Closet project, I had learned from film historian J. Hoberman of his discovery that the wunderkind film director of The Dybbuk, Michal Waszynski, was himself quite flamingly gay ("flamboyant" was the term Hoberman chose to use in his book, Bridge of Light: Yiddish Film Between Two Worlds).' - Jmabel | Talk 18:32, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Seems more relevant to The Dybbuk than here, so that is where I will take it up. - Jmabel | Talk 18:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
