Following his 2011 visit to the Polish National Film, Television and Theatre School in Lódž, Scorsese was compelled to bring the great masterpieces of Polish cinema to audiences.
Masterpieces of Polish Cinema will showcase a collection of landmark Polish films curated by one of the most accomplished and respected directors of our time, Martin Scorsese. Masterpieces of Polish Cinema includes works from luminaries such as Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Krzysztof Zanussi, Andrzej Munk, Jerzy Kawalerowicz and Wojciech Has.
Scorsese selected 21 seminal films that profoundly resonated with him, and ACMI will showcase 13 of these, all which have been digitally remastered and are newly subtitled with the assistance of Scorsese’s Film Foundation. These include Ashes and Diamonds (Popiol i Diament), Night Train (Pociag), Innocent Sorcerers (Niewinni czarodzieje), Mother Joan of the Angels (Matka Joanna od aniolow), The Saragossa Manuscript (Rekopis znaleziony w Saragossie) and many more.
