IFI & KINOPOLIS: 9TH POLISH FILM FESTIVAL

NOVEMBER 6TH – 9TH

The IFI is delighted to continue our partnership with Kinopolis, Dublin’s annual Polish Film Festival, with a programme that sees a variety of characters finding themselves outside of the mainstream.

Opening film The Word sees a teenage girl revenge herself on her cheating boyfriend in chilling fashion. Papusza offers audiences a rare glimpse into the life of a Romany woman who finds herself unwelcome among both the general public and her own community. Jack Strong tells the true story of a Polish soldier playing a dangerous game as he spies on his Communist superiors for the West. Closing film The Mighty Angel explores one man’s battle with addiction as he tries to become a more productive and better integrated member of society. This year’s festival also sees the return of the always popular showcase of new Polish animation, and we are delighted to welcome documentarian Paweł Łoziński to the IFI to present his work.
