Historical, patriotic and regional education and intercultural tolerance in Stanisław Jędryka’s film Zielone lata

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the significance of Stanisław Jędryka’s film Zielone lata in teaching inter-cultural tolerance and promoting historical, cultural and regional education. The film is set in the director’s hometown of Sosnowiec in Dąbrowa Basin, shortly before the outbreak of World War II and during the German occupation. The research hypothesis postulating that Jędryka’s and Przeździecki’s work remains relevant was examined by exploring timeless themes in the film, ana-lysing film reviews in the press, popular science literature, and audience reception. The film’s high artistic merit, the conveyed message, and positive responses from the viewers confirm the validity of the research hypothesis. In the article, the content of the film and its artistic value were examined with the use of a comparative analysis and an analysis of the media, including press publications and viewer commentaries posted online.
