The fourth film meeting in the “Makom” series will take place: 📅 February 19 at 6:00 PM at the Jewish Historical Institute. This time we will present the film “Polański, Horowitz. Hometown” directed by Mateusz Kudła and Anna Kokoszka-Romer.
The conversation between Roman and Ryszard is a constant return to memories, in which places have an extraordinary power to evoke the past: their family homes, the synagogue, the streets of the ghetto where they met. The film contains bitter reflection mixed with disbelief: “Nothing is left of that past, it looks like Disneyland. Who would have expected to see Kraków this way?”. From there begins a waltz of memories — like when Polański visits the apartment where he grew up, his eyes fill with tears and his voice breaks: “Some forgotten moments from childhood return to memory. It’s hard to tell them, you have to live them.”
We invite you on a shared journey into the space of the image, which will become a pretext for a conversation about searching for our Makom — a place in the world. The meeting with the directing duo will be led by film critic Igor Kierkosz.
