The Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Polish Cultural Institute in New York have put together a wonderful program. From February 3-11, 2010, plenty of gems will be playing at the Walter Reader Center located on West 65th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam.
Description: "Coincident with the “Solidarity” workers’ movement, Polish filmmakers offered a number of hard-hitting looks at their nation that outlined in stark detail the regime’s failures—economic, political and especially spiritual. “Storm Warnings” includes ten key films that represented the moral conscience that helped lay the groundwork for the regime’s eventual collapse."
Please note that a "Sampler Pass" of any three films is available for students for $18! This is not an opportunity to be missed!

ReplyDeletePS. One typo: the address of the Walter Reade Theater is: Lincoln Center, 65th Street (not 56th St).
Ah, thank you. It's been corrected.
