Film and Art Festival TWO RIVERSIDES Newsletter 10 Dear Friends! We have prepared some great premieres and special shows for the final Saturday of the Festival. Our guest this year will be Sławomir Grunberg. In Kazimierz we’ll have a chance to see the premiere of his documentary film entitled “Paint What You Remember’. It is about Mayer Kirshenblatt, who emigrated from Poland to Canada and at the age of 73 started putting his memories from the prewar town of Opatow, on his paintings. You will see some examples of the Far East cinema. Johny To is one of the best Hing-Kong action film directors and for the first time in Poland we will screen his newest production, ‘Vengeance’. The screenplay was written by Wai Ka-fai and the leading male part is played by a French actor, Johnny Hallyday. Of course, we will give attention to our native productions. You’ll see Jacek Głomb’s ‘Operation Danube’ and have an opportunity to meet Zbigniew Zamachowski, who acted as captain Czeslaw Grazel, and Jacek Kondracki, the screenwriter. Katarzyna Rosłaniec’s ‘Mall Girls’ is our next proposition. It’s a story about teen prostitutes who practice the world’s oldest proffesion not on the street, but … in shopping malls. The official closing of the Festival is dedicated to Jan Machulski. We will screen Michał Rogalski’s debut film ‘The Last Action’ in which Jan Machulski played his last role. The audience in Kazimierz will personally meet the director, Karolina Gorczyca (who played the part of Magda) and our special guest, Halina Machulska. In the section entitled ‘Tribute to Jan Machulski’, you will have a great chance to see the actor’s best-known roles in ‘The Last Day of Summer’, ‘Vabank’ and ‘ The Lodger’. Don’t miss it! |
