To mark the end of the current Polish presidency of the EU and in advance of this year’s IFI Kinopolis, we are delighted to finally have the chance to present Scarborn, from the director of Panic Attack, which screened at Kinopolis 2018. Winner of the top prize at the Gdynia Film Festival, the film stars three of Polish cinema’s most established stars, Robert Więckiewicz, Jacek Braciak, and Agnieszka Grochowska. Set in 1794, the film takes a loose, Tarantino-inspired approach to the story of Polish war hero Tadeusz Kościuszko, who tries to encourage his countrymen to stand up to Russian invaders.

This screening is supported by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Dublin and co-produced by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute as part of the international cultural program of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2025.

Before the screening, listen to Celluloid Solidarity’s podcast episode on Scarborn with director Paweł Maślona here! Celluloid Solidarity is part of the project Solidarity on Screen – Polish Presidency Film Review, dedicated to the promotion of Polish films with a solidarity theme and their creators, and created by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute as part of the foreign cultural program of the Polish Presidency of the Council in the European Union 2025.
