Oscars/Anti Polish propaganda in Hollywood Reporter- PAC protest

The 2019 film Corpus Christi, directed by Jan Komasa, was nominated for a 2020 Oscar.

Mr. Scott Roxborough wrote a misleading article about Corpus Christi which presents wrong information about contemporary Polish politics and especially about the Smolensk Catastrophe.

This harms the image of Poland, the Poles, and by extension Polish Americans. Please email John Czop's article below to Mr. Roxborough to encourage him to publish a correction in the Hollywood Reporter, so the public may know the truth of what really is at stake in today's Poland.

Dear Mr. Roxborough,

I am writing in response to your 2 January 2020 article, How 'Corpus Christi' Director Hopes to Bridge Poland's Cultural Divide, published in the 13 January 2020 issue of The Hollywood Reporter. Your description of the 2019 film Corpus Christi, written by Mateusz Pacewicz and directed by Jan Komasa, is devoid of critical detachment. This is why your article is a disservice to those in the West who want to know the truth about "Poland's Cultural Divide".

In "Corpus Christi", Messrs. Pacewicz and Komasa show a rural versus urban cultural divide in order to occlude what really is at stake: the struggle of freedom loving Poles, present in both town and countryside, to remove former communists, also entrenched in urban and rural Poland, from their positions of privilege and power.

Moreover, Messrs. Pacewicz and Komasa clearly propagate the message of the former communist elite. Why do you collaborate in their lurid project by writing: Poland's national divide is played out in miniature in " Corpus Cristi", with the tragedy of the car accident standing in for the 2010 Smolensk catastrophe, the plane crash that killed 96 Polish dignitaries, including then President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria. Kaczynski's twin brother, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, weaponized the national tragedy, using it to leverage political power for his right-wing Law and Justice Party, which now runs Poland (and has been heavily criticized by the European union for cracking down on free speech and LGBT rights).

Messrs. Pacewicz and Komasa trivialize, minimize, and misinform the public about the Smolensk Catastrophe by comparing it in their film, set in rural Poland, to an automobile accident. Corpus Cristi shows credulous villagers, who are duped by a former convict masquerading as a fake priest, expressing competing views on the causes of the automobile accident in which seven young villagers died. Your article legitimizes viewing the Smolensk Catastrophe as an aviation accident like the film's automobile accident. Today, there is no debate on the causes of the Smolensk Catastrophe. This Catastrophe was no accident; against the facts, the makers of "Corpus Christi" perpetuate the Smolensk lie, which benefits former communists, in league with Putin's Kremlin, who continue to occupy important positions in today's Poland.

Recently, the world's leading expert on aviation accidents, Frank Taylor, a British citizen, concluded that the Smolensk Catastrophe was NO ACCIDENT. Instead, Taylor is convinced that President Kaczynski's plane exploded above the runway of Smolensk North Military Airfield, in the western part of the Russian Federation, as the result of the detonation inside the aircraft of two or more bombs.

Your article about "Corpus Christi" takes on very serious issues, which affect the security of Poland and the Atlantic World in the context of increasingly aggressive and reckless Kremlin revanchism. You and the Kremlin still insist, against the facts, that the Smolensk Catastrophe was an accident, and not a mass assassination.

The 10 million Polish Americans in the United States, who consume Hollywood products, will be dismayed if you do not, BEFORE THE 2020 OSCARS, publish a correction to your article in which you make it clear that the Smolensk Catastrophe was NOT an accident, but a mass assassination and a crime without punishment.

If you do not do so, it shows that your article deliberately legitimizes the tendentious views supported by former communists who are trying to hold on to power in Poland through duplicity by propagating the Smolensk Lie. Against the facts, it is the transformed communists who see the Smolensk Catastrophe as an accident and who want to make deals with the Kremlin on natural gas rather than ensure Poland's energy independence through the Three Seas Initiative. This is why your article threatens the security and sovereignty of Poland, and the best interests of the USA and all the other NATO countries.

Sincerely,

John Czop

Octawa Ensemble Bio:

OCTAVA ensemble a vocal octet considered by music critics to be one of the most interesting vocal groups of the young generation. They quickly established their leading position among other Polish chamber groups. OCTAVA ensemble is many times a winner of various festivals and contests. As well as the many awards won by the group, there is also the most prestigious award in Polish choral art, Grand Prix 39', "Legnica Cantat" edition.

Thanks to the wide interests of OCTAVA ensemble, the group can perform every type of music, from Renaissance works to avant-garde coproduction with Krzysztof Penderecki, Aphex Twin (European Culture Congress, Wroclaw 2011), Portishead and Goldfrapp (an opening of new Trance scene on Misteria Paschalia Festival).

However, the specialisation of OCTAVA ensemble is the XVI and XVII-century music. The group follows historical trends by recording albums of works from the turn of the Renaissance and the Baroque (Pekiel Missa Pulcherrima - FRYDERYK 2010 nomination, Hassler Missa Octava - reviewed very positively in British "Gramophone" magazine - the most esteemed classical music magazine in the world). Additionally, they have set up the extraordinary AD RADICES MUSICAE project - for the first time in Poland, OCTAVA ensemble has brought back a regular interpretation of polyphonic compositions which are performed in their natural context, i.e. during a liturgy before council.

With every concert, OCTAVA ensemble wins favour with audience and critics. Zygmunt Magiera is the artistic director of the group.

***
OCTAVA ensemble - oktet wokalny, uznany przez krytyków muzycznych za jeden z najciekawszych zespołów wokalnych młodego pokolenia szybko ustalił swoją wiodącą pozycję wśród polskich zespołów kameralnych. Wielokrotny zwycięzca licznych festiwali i konkursów wokalnych; wśród zdobytych przez zespół nagród nie zabrakło najbardziej prestiżowej nagrody w dziedzinie polskiej chóralistyki Grand Prix 39' edycji "Legnica Cantat".

Szerokie zainteresowania artystyczne OCTAVA ensemble, pozwalają zespołowi sięgać po każdego rodzaju muzykę, od twórczości renesansowej po awangardowe koprodukcje z udziałem Krzysztofa Pendereckiego i Aphex Twin (Europejski Kongres Kultury, Wrocław 2011) albo Portishead i Goldfrapp (inauguracja nowej odsłony Trance na festiwalu Misteria Paschalia).

Specjalizację OCTAVA ensemble stanowi jednak muzyka XVI i XVII wieku. Zespół wpisuje się w trend historycznego wykonawstwa muzyki dawnej nagrywając płyty z utworami z przełomu renesansu i baroku (Missa Pulcherrima Pękiela - nominacja do nagrody FRYDERYK 2010, Missa Octava Hasslera - wyróżniona pochwalną recenzją w brytyjskim miesięczniku "Gramophone" - najbardziej liczącym się magazynie o muzyce klasycznej na świecie), a także tworząc wyjątkowy projekt AD RADICES MUSICAE - po raz pierwszy w Polsce przywracając regularne wykonywanie kompozycji polifonicznych we właściwym dla nich kontekście przedsoborowej liturgii.

Każdy występ OCTAVA ensemble zyskuje niezwykłą przychylność publiczności i krytyki.
Dyrektorem artystycznym zespołu jest Zygmunt Magiera.

Reminder: Annual Pulaski Monument Ceremony – Saturday, October 19

Celebrate General Pulaski’s Revolutionary Legacy in New Jersey

Join Us to Honor American history, and the

Polish contribution to the American cause, in

commemorating the Defense of Little Egg Harbor

Saturday, October 19, 2019, 11 a.m.

Pulaski Monument, Little Egg Harbor

The Ceremony: Solemn commemoration including flag lowering and wreath-laying. Historical narrative is offered of the Battle of October 15, 1778 during the Defense of Little Egg Harbor in the American Revolution. This year the ceremony will include a special primary school-age presentation that starts at Eleven O’clock in the Morning.

Directions: From Garden State Parkway, take Exit 58 (Route 539) toward Tuckerton [3.3 miles] to Route 9. In Tuckerton, turn RIGHT onto Route 9; proceed one block to traffic light at Great Bay Blvd. Turn LEFT onto Great Bay Blvd and proceed one-third mile and turn RIGHT onto Radio Road. Proceed 2.25 miles down Radio Road, passing through the intersection of Harbortown Blvd/Mathistown Rd (traffic light). The Pulaski Monument is on the LEFT, just past the fire station.

The History: The annual ceremony is held to remember the fallen troopers of the Pulaski Legion and their victory in the early morning hours of October 15^th on a site along what is now called Radio Road leading to Osborn Island. It is now 241 years since the enemy British force of soldiers and sailors retreated for one last time, leaving behind their military target of reaching and destroying the ‘Forks’ at the Mullica River. The important Port of Little Egg Harbor warehouses, docks and iron works at ‘The Forks’ 18 miles distant, proved to be too far, and Pulaski’s cavalry were too numerous. Retreat was the only option in the face of Pulaski’s horses.

A week earlier at Chestnut Neck (about 5 miles away on the Mullica River) the hopelessly outnumbered, but still valiant, American militia, privateer sailors and a small battery could not offer much resistance in the initial attack as the enemy laid waste to the lower Port, houses and farms. But like that chaos and defeat suffered on Oct 6-7 at Chestnut Neck, which Pulaski put a stop to, the Legion would once again prove on October 15 during the renewed British attack that the enemy would go no farther. The hand-picked enemy soldiers backed by the Royal Navy did not even entertain a hope of giving fight to Pulaski’s American Continental dragoons—cavalry carefully trained by their Polish officers. After the second bloody assault in the early morning hours of October 15 along Radio Road, the British retreated with losses. The enemy expedition was already in its third week, and it would be still days more the British would spend picking up stragglers from their unsuccessful attack before they sailed away.

The war would go on, but the enemy would never again attempt to show its flag so brazenly in South Jersey. Such were the events of October 1778 in the American Revolution during the Defense of Little Egg Harbor. May their service and sacrifice be remembered!

National Register of Historic Places: The Pulaski Monument site on Radio Road, and the associated Headquarters site ¾ mile away, are found on the historic register maintained by the U.S. Department of the Interior – NPS .
