Are Craig Melville and Andrzej Wajda both film directors?
|
Title: Theatre of Poland
Passage: In common with other European countries, the most frequent and most popular form of theatre in Poland is dramatic theatre, based on the existence of relatively stable artistic companies. It is above all a theatre of directors, who decide on the form of its productions and the appearance of individual scenes. There is no strict division in Poland between theatre and film directors and actors, therefore many stage artists are known to theatre goers from films of Andrzej Wajda, for example: Wojciech Pszoniak, Daniel Olbrychski, Krystyna Janda, Jerzy Radziwiowicz, and from films of Krzysztof Kielowski, actors such as Jerzy Stuhr, Janusz Gajos and others.
Title: A Generation
Passage: A Generation (Polish: Pokolenie ) is a 1955 Polish film directed by Andrzej Wajda. It is based on the novel "Pokolenie" by Bohdan Czeszko, who also wrote the script.

Title: Man of Marble
Passage: Man of Marble (Polish: "Czowiek z marmuru" ) is a 1976 Polish film directed by Andrzej Wajda. It chronicles the fall from grace of a fictional heroic Polish bricklayer, Mateusz Birkut (played by Jerzy Radziwiowicz), who became the Stakhanovite symbol of an over-achieving worker, in Nowa Huta, a new (real life) socialist city near Krakw. Agnieszka, played by Krystyna Janda in her first role, is a young filmmaker who is making her diploma film (a student graduation requirement) on Birkut, whose whereabouts seems to have been lost two decades later. The title refers to the propagandist marble statues made in Birkut's image. It is somewhat of a surprise that Wajda would have been able to make such a film, "sub silentio" attacking the socialist realism of Nowa Huta, revealing the use of propaganda and political corruption during the period of Stalinism. The film director presaged the loosening grip of the Soviets that came with the Solidarity Movement, though it has been acknowledged by Polish film historians that due to censorship the script languished in development hell since 1962. The film extensively uses original documentation footage from the construction of Nowa Huta and other subjects of Poland's early communist era, as well as the propagandistinspirational music of Stalinist Poland.

Title: Aneurophyton
Passage: Aneurophyton is a genus of extinct vascular plants that belong to the Aneurophytales, a class of progymnosperms. The genus is primarily known from records of two well-known species found in mostly Middle Devonian and Upper Devonian (late Eifelian to Famennian) outcrops in Belgium, China (West Junggar), Germany, and the United States (New York). Some uncertain species within the genus are also recorded from Middle Devonian outcrops in Kazakhstan, Russia (Timan and Siberia), and the Ukraine. While a number of species have been described in the paleobotanical literature, the genus likely only contains two well-circumscribed species, "A. germanicum" and "A. doui", and possibly a third species, "A. olnense", from Fammenian outcrops in Belgium.

Later in 1840, to resolve what later became known as the Great Devonian Controversy about rocks near the boundary between the Silurian and Carboniferous periods, he and Murchison proposed the Devonian period.
Title: Acadian orogeny
Passage: The Acadian orogeny is a long-lasting mountain building event which began in the Middle Devonian, reaching a climax in the early Late Devonian. It was active for approximately 50 million years, beginning roughly around 375 million years ago, with deformational, plutonic, and metamorphic events extending into the Early Mississippian. The Acadian orogeny is the third of the four orogenies that created the Appalachian orogen and subsequent basin. The preceding orogenies consisted of the Potomac and Taconic orogeny, which followed a riftdrift stage in the Late Neoproterozoic. The Acadian orogeny involved the collision of a series of Avalonian continental fragments with the Laurasian continent. Geographically, the Acadian orogen extended from the Canadian Maritime provinces migrating in a southwesterly direction toward Alabama.

Piston-engined, turbine-engined, and jet-engined cars have all set world land speed records.

A wristlock is typically applied by grabbing the opponent's hand, and bending andor twisting it. Wristlocks are very common in martial arts such as aikido, hapkido and jujutsu where they are featured as self-defense techniques. They are also used as submission holds in combat sports such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu (where the most common name is "mo de vaca", "the cow's hand") and catch wrestling. While being an illegal technique in modern sambo and judo competitions, it is still practiced in judo forms of self-defense kata kdkan goshinjutsu. Wristlocks are also widely used as pain compliance holds, often in police and military.
