Polish Short Film Selection: Masterpieces of the Łódź Film School

This event has ended.
At National Film Center
Media: Film

The post World War II Polish film industry has a brilliant standing in world film history. Its films were highly acclaimed under the name "Polish School", and have continuously produced exceptional works since. One of the reasons behind the numerous illustrious directors and staff such as Andrzej Wajda, Roman Polanski, Jerzy Skolimowski, Krzysztof Zanussi, and Krzysztof Kieslowski that have emerged from Poland is the existence of the Łódź Film School that was established in Łódź in 1948. The above-mentioned masters all created short films at this institution before embarking on their international careers.

This year marks the 50th year of the restoration of diplomatic ties between Poland and Japan and coincides with the 50th year anniversary since the 1957 release of Andrzej Wajda's "Kanal". A selection of short films that have been created by Łódź Film School students during the past 60 years will be screened in commemoration of these events. 4 feature-length films by master directors that graduated from the school will also be screened as reference works.
