Film on a World War 2 plane
In 2015, the wreckage of a Soviet Red Army plane shot down by the Nazis at the end of World War II was excavated from a tributary of the Vistula River, near the town of Wyszogród in Poland. The Soviet origin of the plane drew a lot of attention because of Poland’s tenuous relationship with Russia (and erstwhile USSR) and the continuing debate over its communist legacy. Was the wreckage a symbol of Poland’s war-torn past that should be commemorated, or a bitter reminder of another nation’s domination and control? What did the wreckage mean for Wyszogród and why did it choose to house it?
A town, inundated with its own memories of the war. An object, mired in layers of contentious history. Two Autumns in Wyszogród, tries to explore these frictions of history.
The film can be watched for free till June 13. There is also a discussion with its makers Amit Mahant and Ruchika Negi on June 11.
