Kieślowski’s first collaboration with both composer Zbigniew Preisner and co-screenwriter Krzysztof Piesiewicz is a sorrowful work set in the immediate aftermath of the repression of Lech Wałęsa’s Solidarity trade union in 1981. The film will feature an introduction by Rafał Syska, a film historian, Professor at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, museum curator, and former Director of the National Centre for Film Culture in Łódz. This presentation is part of the “Moral Mazes of Krzysztof Kieślowski” series.
