Filmowe spotkania z Innym jako forma dialogu międzykulturowego

Abstract

The subject of the discussion contained in the article are selected spaces of film culture focusing on the issues of the Other. This objective of this article is also to present the role of the film in encounter with the Other and an attempt to find an answer to the question of how and for what purpose selected documentary and feature films speaking about the Other? Filmmakers are more and more concerned with the subject of multiculturalism, ethnic differences or the migratory crisis. In the face of growing problems concerning intolerance, respect or hostility towards Another, the film may be helpful in shaping attitudes of openness to otherness, based on universal values and on respect for cultural and ethnic diversity. The cinema allows encounter with the Other. Films present different values and perspectives and allow for their exchange. Filmmakers do not propose system solutions, but they use the movie camera as one of the tools of change. They are illustrating a specific problem and try to build a sense of justice and responsibility for the Other.
