Summertime is meant for adventures, travelling, and using imagination. But it is even beyond little Jagoda to think that her imagination combined with the temper of her grandpa Jeremi will take them as far as to a meeting with a dragon! More »
The début film ‘Bałtyk’ from Iga Lis to be screened at the BellaTOFIFEST IFF!
Long before the beaches and resorts along the Polish coastline got devoured by the contemporary face of tourism, local small businesses used to be one of the main attractions in the area. One of them was the smoking chamber ‘U Mieci,’ famous for its top quality smoked fish.

Katyń
Katyń · dir. Andrzej Wajda
Poland 2007, 118’
Trailer
The film follows the story of four Polish families whose lives are torn apart when, at the outset of WWII, a great number of Polish soldiers (who are also fathers, husbands, sons and brothers) fall into the hands of Soviet troops and later brutally become victims of Stalinism, murdered and buried in Katyń's woods in 1940. Andrzej Wajda presents a multi-faceted scenario of great sorrow, but never mawkish. This is the work of an old master, a complex canvass directed with a sure hand, a movie which describes and explains the tragedy of Katyń.
