Podsumowanie
From 20th to 26th November 2020, the Japanese audience will have the opportunity to enjoy the greatest achievements of Polish cinema presented at the 9th Poland Film Festival. Despite the limited form and shorter than usual duration of the festival due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event boasts a programme rich in various forms and genres aimed at a wide audience.
Content
One of the highlights of this year’s programme is Krzysztof Kieślowski's film series The Decalogue. There is no need to introduce this prominent director to the festival-goers, as his works were also presented during the previous editions of the event. This time, the audience will have a chance to see the entire ten-part series. The programme also includes short films by the outstanding director and documentary filmmaker Marcel Łoziński, Oscar-nominated Corpus Christi by Jan Komasa as well as Borys Lankosz’s documentary The Author of Solaris produced in collaboration with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, dedicated to the genius science-fiction author and thinker Stanisław Lem. 2021 will mark the 100th anniversary of Lem’s birth, and on this occasion the jubilee 10th edition of the festival will also include references to this great visionary.
