Martin Scorsese Presents: Masterpieces of Polish Cinema

OCTOBER 5 - 9, 2014
Co-presented with the Seattle Polish Film Festival
Sponsored by Seattle University

When Martin Scorsese traveled to Poland to accept an honorary degree from The Polish National Film, Television, and Theatre School in Łódź -- the institution that birthed the famed "Polish Film School" of the 1950's and 60's, which put Polish cinema on the map, he knew he needed to bring the great masterpieces of Polish cinema back with him.

In the months following the visit, Scorsese chose twenty-one recently restored Polish masterpieces by directors such as Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Zanussi, Andrzej Munk, Jerzy Kawalerowicz, Aleksander Ford, Krzysztof Kieslowski, and others for a North American tour.

Northwest Film Forum and the Seattle Polish Film Festival will present eight of these Polish classics in October. Each film has been digitally re-mastered and brilliantly restored on newly subtitled DCPs.
