9. e. evidence for using the name and the reaction of a participant of the
first, 2003 edition of the Complainant’s Festival, who replied in a letter to the
Defendant’s appeal informing about his festival, which was to take place six
months after the Complainant’s festival. The participant asked the
Defendant (the letter’s addressee — the Defendant — clearly indicated in the
letter) if Mr. Chojecki worked in co-operation with the Complainant and if
this was one and the same festival, as well as what was the point in
screening the same films one more time half a year later (evidence no. 9 f —
certified translation).

Re: Warsaw International Jevish Film Festival
Dear Miroslaw and Jan:
Thank you for your email about your festival. As I am sure you know, my film Shalom Ireland screened at the 1st
Warsaw Jewish Film Festival in November. I'm a bit confused. Can you clarify something for me. Are you
associated with Daniel Strehlau's festival? Are you interested in screening my film that has already been shown
once in Warsaw? I tried going to the web site listed in your email. I get to the front page but cannot access
anything else including the forms and guidelines.
Many thanks for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Valerie Lapin Ganley

April 18-27, 2004 there will be organized in capital of Poland:
WARSAW INTERNATIONAL JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL
HA-MOTIV HA-JEHUDI 2004
This Festival will be both a presentation and competition for films in the following categories:
feature, documentary, experi-mental and animated films - all on Jewish themes.
Warsaw played a special role in the culture of Jewish people. Before Word War II biggest Jewish
community in the world lived here. It was in Warsaw that first films in Yiddish were shot.
For centuries the Jewish people lived, worked, cherished their traditions in harmonious coexistence with
the Poles and other nationalities of the Republic. They shared with the Polish people the difficult
moments of their country, co-created Polish culture, took part in economic life and in the repeated armed
efforts to regain and maintain Poland’s independence.
In 1939, the Jewish community counted 3 million. In the course of World War II it was practically
wiped out from the Polish soil. It lies with us what and how much will be saved of the Jewish culture and
passed on to generations to come.
The Warsaw International Jewish Film Festival will be held in Warsaw in mid-April 2004. During the
Festival historical movies as well as films about contemporary Jewish communities all over the world are
