This Wednesday marks the commencement of the 7th Annual New York Polish Film Festival taking place from May 4th - May 8th at the Anthology Film Archives in the East Village. Our opening ceremony introduction, beginning at 6:30pm on the 4th, will be led by Professor Annette Insdorf, Director of Undergraduate Film Studies at Columbia University and author of Double Lives, Second Chances: The Cinema of Krzysztof Kieslowski. 

The festival opens with a selection of documentaries by Krzysztof Kieslowski (the legendary director of Three Colors: Blue, White, Red), followed by the New York premiere of Rite of Passage (Mała matura 47). Janusz Majewski has directed a semi-autobiographical meditation on navigating adolescence in the aftermath of World War II between the residue of German occupation and the oncoming brutality of Soviet oppression.

The Festival will continue through the weekend. For a complete schedule of films and scheduled appearances of visiting talent please visit our website www.nypff.com.
