Ferdydurke found on video

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear colleagues and Prof Levine:

Two dealers in Polish video offer for sale the DVD version of 
Gombrowicz's "Ferdydurke" (also known as "30-Door Key").  
Those dealers are Polski Film and MusiLand.  (Revealed by 
an E-Bay search.)   Separately I am forwarding to Prof  Levine
those two actual on-line listings for sales of "Ferdydurke."

By the way, MusiLand is supposedly in Europe, Film polski in 
Canada.  But one might also ask 2 big sellers of Polish videos 
inside the USA:  Pol-Art in Florida
<INFO at POLISHMOVIESONLINE.COM>
and Mega-Pol in Brooklyn, NY
<OFFICE at MEGAPOLMUSIC.COM">
It's possible that you would find videos of "Ferdydurke" also
in Florida and/or Brooklyn...

By the way, one of director Jerzy Skolimowski's sons, under 
the name "Joseph Kay,"   is credited with writing the adapted 
script for "Ferdydurke."  But that's nothing.  One or another 
of the director's sons worked on other films of their papa 
under names like Jerry [sic] Skol, Michael Lyndon, and John 
Yorick.  Nepotyzm, thy name is Polish...  

Good luck getting your video,
Steven P Hill,
University of Illinois.

Subject: Film version of Ferdydurke 

I'm trying to locate a copy of Jerzy Skolimowski's film adaptation of
Ferdydurke for class viewing.  I believe it was produced in 1991 but don't
know if it was ever released in VHS or DVD.  If you own a copy and would be
willing to lend it or know where I can order a copy, please contact me off list.
Thank you.
