Jan Troell is an extensive discourse by Tadeusz Szczepański - the best Polish expert in the film art of this outstanding Swedish director, who started his professional career as... a primary school teacher. For his artistic versatility, Troell, who directed his films, wrote screenplays for them, worked as a cinematographer and even edited the final works, is called auniversal artist. Highly appreciated and respected in Sweden, creator of great, epic narratives, one of which -The Emigrants (Utvandrarna, 1971) and mentioned as equal to Bergman and Widerberg, Jan Troell is hardly known to the broader audience in Poland. The retrospective of his films at this year's International Film Festival Era New Horizons in Wrocław (July 2009) will be an opportunity to admire his art.
