Among Polish novels, I'd recommend Stanislaw Lem's "Kongres Futurologiczny"
and perhaps "Pamietnik Znaleziony w Wannie" (literal translation of titles:
"Futurological Congress" and "Diary Found in the Bath Tub").

Your students might enjoy Juliusz Machulski's movie "Seksmisja" (the title
is a pun combining sex and mission), but it requires some understanding
of totalitarian propaganda to fully appreciate.

Hope this helps,
Leszek.
