The Polish Institute is pleased to announce the second edition of the Kinoteka
Polish Film Festival.
The Festival will kick off in Mumbai on 19 November and draw to a close in Delhi
on 12th December.
th
The two-city Festival is also split into two parts: the first, called Polish Cinema Now
is focused on contemporary Polish cinema, and features some of the most recent
film successes, including Andrzej Jakimowski’s highly-acclaimed Imagine, which
opens the Delhi leg of Kinoteka in the presence of the director himself and that of
his wife Ewa Jakimowska who worked on the film’s production design. Other films
in this section are also highly-rated such as Ida, which has been nominated for next
year’s Oscars in the Best Foreign Language Film category.
The second part of the Festival is a tribute to arguably Poland’s best known film
director – Krzysztof Kieślowski. 2014 marks the 25th anniversary of the premiere of
his iconic The Decalogue series, and on the occasion we will be screening the first
four episodes from it as part of a Krzysztof Kieślowski Retrospective.
In addition to the Kieślowski movies, we also have a very special poster exhibition
based on the director’s movies. The films of Krzysztof Kieślowski in world film
posters exhibition is a poster tribute highlighting the rich trajectory of films of
Krzysztof Kieślowski. Curated by the Film Museum in Łódź (Muzeum Kinematografii
w Łodzi), the exhibition consists of 45 film posters featuring some of Kieślowski’s
most critically lauded films, made in the years between 1976 and 1994.
This second edition of the Kinoteka Polish Film Festival is thus a rich combination
of the classic and the new, and we hope you can join us in appreciating the very
best of Polish cinema.

SYNOPSIS
Poland 1962. Anna is an eighteen-year-old woman preparing to become a nun at
the convent where she has lived since being orphaned as a child. She learns she
has a living relative she must visit before taking her vows, her mother’s sister Wanda.
Together, the two women embark on a voyage of discovery of each other and
their past. Her aunt, she learns is not only a former hardline Communist state
prosecutor notorious for sentencing priests and others to death, but also a Jew.
Anna learns that she too is Jewish - and that her real name is Ida. This revelation
sets Anna, now Ida, on a journey to uncover her roots and confront the truth
about her family.
Ida has to choose between her birth identity and the religion that saved her
from the massacres of the Nazi German occupation of Poland during the Second
World War. And Wanda must confront decisions she made during the War when
she chose loyalty to the cause before family.
Written by Paweł Pawlikowski and Rebecca Lenkiewicz, and directed
by Pawlikowski (Last Resort, My Summer of Love), the film stars Agata
Trzebuchowska as Ida, and Agata Kulesza as Wanda.

SYNOPSIS
Young students huddle together on a bench in the glaring sun, clutching their
white canes, listening for the signs that can let them put together the puzzle
of their existence – they are the blind children and young adults of a worldrenowned specialized Lisbon clinic. Ian, their new spatial orientation instructor,
wants to leave traditional boundaries behind and help them explore their
surroundings without feeling vulnerable or frightened. Through unconventional
means, he aims to stimulate their curiosity and imaginations.
Ian quickly wins their trust, prompting him to attempt challenges with a greater
element of risk. His two most eager students are the adults Eva and Serrano, who
experience an adrenaline surge when they leave their safe, quiet clinic for the
streets of the busy metropolis. But while Eva boldly leaves her cane behind and
tries to mask her blindness, enjoying a flirt in a café, Serrano has doubts that Ian is
being truthful. Is the image of the world that Ian is conveying to his students real?

10 December: 7 pm, Gulmohar Hall, India Habitat Centre,
SYNOPSIS
Jack Strong tells the gripping true story of colonel Ryszard Kukliński, one of
the most controversial figures in Polish post-World War II history. Hailed as a
global hero, Kukliński single-handedly declared and waged a secret war against
Communist oppression, risking his and his family’s life for the sake of national
security. Pressured by his own conscience and by an increasing threat of a nuclear
holocaust, he realized that the only way to save what’s left of his exhausted
country is to go undercover. Thanks to his determination, he started a long, lonely
and psychologically exhausting cooperation with the CIA.

dir. Maciej Pieprzyca, Poland, 2013, 107’
SYNOPSIS
Mateusz is an intelligent, romantic young man tragically trapped inside his own
body, suffering from severe cerebral palsy that makes speech and controlled
movement nearly impossible. Born into a loving family, Mateusz’s protected
world is shattered when circumstances place him in an institution where he
is misunderstood and mistreated. Featuring an astonishing, virtuoso lead
performance, Life Feels Good beautifully recounts the true story of one man’s
extraordinary efforts to endure in the face of impossible odds. The Maciej
Pieprzyca’s biopic is a double prize-winner at both the Gdynia and Montreal Film

Papusza
dir. Joanna Kos-Krauze & Krzysztof
Krauze, Poland, 2013, 126’
SYNOPSIS
Based on real events, Papusza tells the dramatic tale of Bronisława Wajs, the
first Romani poet to ever write down her poems and publish them, thereby
confronting the traditional female image in the gypsy community. The film follows
Papusza’s life from birth to old age: arranged marriage as a small girl, her life
in a gypsy tabor before, during and after the Second World War, then forced
settlement in communist Poland and urban life in poverty. Her meeting with
the Polish poet Jerzy Ficowski, who discovered her great talent for poetry and
published her works led to a tragic paradox: a famous poet was living in poverty,
rejected by the Roma community, for betraying their secrets. This is the first Polish
film made in the Romani language.

KRZYSZTOF KIEŚLOWSKI RETROSPECTIVE
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the premiere of Krzysztof Kieślowski ’s
iconic The Decalogue (Dekalog) series, we are delighted to announce that this
year’s Kinoteka Polish Film Festival will feature the first four episodes of the
series as part of a Kieślowski retrospective.
The Decalogue/Dekalog (1-4)
dir. Krzysztof Kieślowski, Poland, 1988
(premiere: Dec 10, 1989), 57’ (each)
SYNOPSIS
Originally made for Polish television, Krzysztof Kieślowski’s acclaimed The
Decalogue (Dekalog) is a ten-part series in which each episode offers a
contemporary dramatic meditation on one of the Ten Commandments.
However, it is not a television series in the familiar sense. There is an ongoing
plot and the characters are different, with the exception of one mysterious,
unidentified figure who appears in every part (played by Artur Barciś). What
all episodes do have in common is the setting – a huge, impersonal housing
project. Overwhelming size, uniform buildings, and the cramped apartments
in which both smaller and larger human dramas must play out. Although the
individual stories are inspired by the Ten Commandments, it is important to
emphasize that Kieślowski and his co-scriptwriter Krzysztof Piesiewicz have
made them accessible to every viewer regardless of worldview or religious
belief. Bare-bones descriptions of their respective plots may make them
sound like single threads from the interwoven storylines of an average soap
opera. But Kieślowski is not offering dramatized gossip; rather, he confronts
us with the depths of moral ambiguity that haunt us all. The ten parts of The
Decalogue, like all of Kieślowski’s later films, are distinguished by the artistry
of the dialogue, performances, cinematography, and musical score.

I Am The Lord Thy God (Decalogue 1)/Dekalog 1
23 November: 6 pm, Little Theatre, National
Centre for the Performing Arts, NCPA Marg,
Nariman Point, Mumbai 400021
03 December: 7 pm onwards, ML Bhartia
Auditorium, Alliance Française de Delhi, 72,
KK Birla Marg, Lodi Estate, New Delhi 110003
In taking the First Commandment as their starting point, Kieślowski and
Piesiewicz address the question of God’s very existence and contemporary
man’s creation of false idols. Krzysztof, a scientist, introduces his beloved
little son, Paweł, to the mysteries of the personal computer, a machine
which he believes to be infallible. It is not by accident that Kieślowski and
Piesiewicz have made the computer an idol – avoiding a literally Biblical
interpretation of God’s commandment. It is winter, and Paweł, anxious
to try out a new pair of skates, asks his father if he can go out to the
local pond which has just frozen over. They consult the computer and
15
determine with great precision and with more than a safe margin of error
that the ice will hold the boy’s weight. But an unpredictable convergence of
meteorological factors is about to threaten the scientist’s faith – and more.
Thou Shalt Not Take the Name of Thy Lord God in Vain
(Decalogue 2)/Dekalog 2
03 December: 7 pm, ML Bhartia Auditorium,
Alliance Française de Delhi, 72, KK Birla
Marg, Lodi Estate, New Delhi 110003
The head of an intensive care unit is a lonely, older man who enjoys a
stable life and the faded memories of his youth. The tranquility of his life is
abruptly shaken when the fate of an unborn child is unexpectedly placed in
his hands. The expectant mother (Krystyna Janda) is a young violinist whose
husband is in critical condition in that very ward. But the child was fathered
by another. The violinist has calculated that if her husband lives, she will
have an abortion. If he dies, she will have the baby and join its father. What
she needs is a clear-cut prognosis. She demands one of the doctor, but her
capacity for cold calculation in the most dramatic of circumstances fills him
with revulsion, as does the realization that on his prognosis hangs the life of
the child. The expectant violinist is not above using God’s name to extract a
sworn statement. But the doctor is not above lying to save a life.
Honor the Sabbath Day (Decalogue 3)/Dekalog 3
Daniel Olbrychski plays Janusz, a young man who lives with his family. It is
Christmas Eve, a night when families are together and nobody wants to be
alone. Janusz’s family maintain the superficial formalities of piety, which
results in empty rituals on Holy Night, and may account in part for a streak
of insincerity and hypocrisy in Janusz. It should be no surprise that part
Three is about much more than dishonoring the Sabbath. Janusz’s ex-lover,
16
19.11.14 – 12.12.14
the determined Ewa, spoils this Christmas Eve by craftily luring Janusz
from the apartment and his family to wander with her through the city,
and with various excuses tries to keep him with her for the night. Their
break-up, it had always seemed to Janusz, had been by mutual consent:
Ewa had agreed to him returning to his family. But now it seems that her
agreement had been a pose forced by circumstances. In fact impetuous
and downright predatory, she now tries to revive their relationship.
Janusz wants to go home but Ewa is adamant. They part at dawn. One
critic observed that Kieślowski presents “the madness of love in its most
onerous phase, when it has lost almost all its positive features and,
intense as ever, is transformed into a destructive force.”
Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother (Decalogue 4)/Dekalog 4
In his approach to the Fourth Commandment – the first of the seven
dealing with human relations – Kieślowski focuses on the taboo against
incest. A subtext of potential incest underlies the delicate play of feelings
and emotions that unfold between Anka and her father, with whom she
has been living since her mother died when Anka was 10. While he is
away on a business trip she finds a letter written by her mother on her
deathbed and addressed to Anka, claiming that her husband was not the
girl’s real father. There may be reason to doubt that, but Anka believes
it, and accuses her alleged father of deception. The family tie that bound
father and daughter now seems suspended. A different relationship
emerges between Anka and Michał as Anka subtly tries to seduce him.
Critics have agreed that “Decalogue 4” is one of the most remarkable of
the whole series, praising the director, set design, and cinematography,
but most of all the actors: Adrianna Biedrzyńska and Janusz Gajos, who
created characters of extremely different temperaments, inwardly rich
and complex.

as a filmmaker of unparalleled merit whose simple stories dealt with difficult,
fundamental and universal questions about complex human feelings. Present
throughout his oeuvre, he asked and attempted to answer “How should one live?”
In an interview Kieślowski said, “Everyone wants to change the world whenever
they make the effort to do something. I don’t think I ever believed the world

described.”

Tripping with Zhirinovsky which between them won an Emmy International, Prix
Italia, the Grierson and two Royal Television Society Awards alongside many other
