Polish Cinema For Beginners – Elephant – Season #19

Polish Cinema for Beginners is a project addressed to everyone interested in the history of Polish cinema and it is organised fully in English, which enables not only Polish but also foreign residents of Wrocław to participate. This is the very first film event of its kind in Wrocław and in all of Poland as it focuses on the non-Polish speaking audience, who up until now did not have the opportunity to watch Polish film classics on the big screen.

This year, Polish Cinema for Beginners is all about the first 25 years of the 21st century. The idea is to take a closer look at how Poland and Polish cinema are portrayed in films from this period. But it’s not just about recent productions—there’s room for older gems too in which the directors tried to imagine how the XXI century will look like – so prepare maybeee for some Polish sci-fi!?

The timing couldn’t be better, as we’re celebrating 25 years of the new millennium and two decades of Poland being part of the European Union!

Polish Cinema for Beginners is brought to you by Wrocławska Fundacja Filmowa.
The event is co-financed by the City of Wrocław (www.wroclaw.pl) and the Polish Film Institute (PISF).
