The Polish Cultural Institute in London is proud to confirm the full programme for the special 20th Anniversary Kinoteka Polish Film Festival 2022. Taking place from 9th March to 3rd April 2022, the Festival will not only screen in some of London's premier and most popular venues including the ICA and BFI Southbank but this year a select number of titles will play at Edinburgh’s prestigious Filmhouse cinema.
As always, Kinoteka will bring an eclectic mix of films across all genres from drama, comedy, social issues and documentary through to classics and will showcase the very best that Polish cinema has to offer. In addition to screenings there will also be special events such as Q&As and even a short crash course in Polish Film studies so there is literally something for everybody to enjoy.
A highlight of the 20th Anniversary celebrations will see the Festival join forces with the BFI to bring 10 of Poland’s best known, classic films to the public, to mark the important contribution that Polish films have made to World Cinema over the years. These newly digitized films will be made available to view via BFI Player from 11th March right through to 7th April. It will give UK audiences the unique chance to watch some rarely seen but major works in the comfort of their own home by some of Poland's most renowned and award-winning directors.
These films come from two of Poland's most important film studios - KADR and Zebra Film Studio - and include award-winning IDENTIFICATION MARKS: NONE, Jerzy Skolimowski's first film which brought him to the world’s attention; Andrzej Wajda's Oscar nominated THE YOUNG LADIES OF WILKO; Andrzej Zulawski's cult science fiction masterpiece ON THE SILVER GLOBE and Agnieszka Holland's politically explicit and forever powerful FEVER. It's an opportunity not to be missed to see all these films either for the very first time or to view and savour them once again.
