Wajda was Central and Eastern Europe's most provocatively political postwar filmmaker, and this series gathers 25 of his films, several in fresh 4K restorations. Martin Scorsese calls him one of the greatest filmmakers ever. If you have never seen Ashes and Diamonds on a big screen, the middle weekend of the run is a good time to start.
What to expect
Screenings run daily through the series at Film Forum's West Houston Street theater; check the schedule for which Wajda titles play each day. Expect a crowd of repertory regulars and Polish film fans.
