About the event

We invite you to the meetings of the Polish Film Academy! Topic: 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐨𝐣𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐳𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐬 Screenings not only for students, everyone is welcome About APF: The Polish Film Academy is a nationwide educational program promoting knowledge about the history of Polish cinema. As part of APF, classes are held for students and free listeners in cinemas and universities in many cities, including Warsaw and Łódź. Above all, it is a two-year course on the history of Polish feature film, inaugurated in 2009. The program, consisting of over a hundred titles and spread over four semesters, illustrates the achievements of Polish feature cinema in a wide spectrum of names, genres, and topics. The selection was based on complementary criteria: the significance of artistic achievements and explorations, as well as particularly favorable reception by audiences. The chronological structure of the program makes it easier to learn about the dominant trends and developmental directions of each period. The Polish Film Academy supplements the humanities programs of higher education institutions, while also serving as a free university. It is open to all who wish to consolidate and deepen their historical knowledge of native film – wrote Dr. Rafał Marszałek, scientific consultant of the Academy. Lecturers are professors and doctors from many universities across Poland. Each class is conducted by a different person, an expert in the given topic. 𖥣 Venue: Kino Iluzjon | Sala Stolica | Tuesdays at 5:00 PM Screenings: - ⏲︎ 7.10.2025 | 17:00 “The Noose” (1957), 96’ Lecture by Dr. Piotr Kurpiewski - ⏲︎ 14.10.2025 | 17:00 “Farewells” (1958), 97’ Lecture by Dr. hab.
