EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from December 1969, we see Abe Polonsky, a renowned film maker who was unjustly blacklisted as a Communist during the House Un-American Activities Committee era led by Senator Joseph McCarthy. After two decades of working under pseudonyms and facing immense challenges, Polonsky has finally triumphed over adversity by completing his first film in 20 years under his own name. Captured at the prestigious Connaught Hotel in London, this image portrays Polonsky radiating with joy and laughter. His expressive face tells a story of resilience and determination that transcends time. Despite being subjected to political persecution for his beliefs, he never lost faith in his craft. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the turbulent times faced by artists during the 1960s when their creative freedom was stifled by ideological witch hunts. It also highlights the indomitable spirit of individuals like Polonsky who refused to be silenced or deterred from pursuing their passion. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in history, let us celebrate not only Polonsky's remarkable achievement but also pay homage to all those who fought against oppression and censorship within the entertainment industry. Their unwavering commitment to artistic integrity continues to inspire generations today.
