“WAJDA: re-visions. Review of films by Andrzej Wajda on the 100th anniversary of his birth”

A series of ten films by one of the most outstanding creators of world cinema. It is not only a tribute to the director's achievements, but also a new look at his works: read anew today, in a different historical and social context, they continue to move, provoke and inspire.

WITHOUT ANESTHESIA

A poignant diagnosis of the society of the late 1970s, a portrait of a man surrounded by the system and his own weaknesses, one of the most penetrating analyses of the moral crisis in Polish cinema.

“WAJDA: re-visions. A Retrospective of Andrzej Wajda's Films on the 100th Anniversary of His Birth”

A retrospective is addressed both to audiences who grew up with Wajda's films and to younger viewers, for whom this will be their first opportunity to experience his work on the big screen.
