Although Poland has produced visionaries like Polanski, Kieslowski and Wajda, and the country's film industry has had an outsize impact on the history of cinema, the films themselves remain relatively unknown in Japan. This festival, now back for its fifth run, aims to correct that. Moving to the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, the 2019 edition will feature a programme including both classics and newer fare – a total of 22 films. Look out for the selection of ten essential films by Andrzej Wajda, who sadly passed away earlier this year in 2016, or opt for more recent standouts such as Juliusz (2018) or Solid Gold (2019). The full schedule can be found here.
Note that all films are shown with Japanese subtitles only.
