Please join us for a night of Polish film as we celebrate the closing of the exhibition Little Warsaw guest curated by Matt Maycock. It will be a double feature showing Pornografia and Do Widzenia, Do Jutra. Movie night will start @ 5 pm and light refreshments will be served.
Pornografia was adapted from Witold Gombrowicz’s novel by Jan Jakub Kolski and is set in 1943 in Poland during World War II. The story concerns a game that two adult men, theater director Fryderyk and writer Witold, play to convince a sixteen-year-old girl and boy to fall in love.
Do Widzenia, Do Jutra created by Janusz Morgenstern in 1960 reveals the mood created by the longing and resentment present in the young intellectuals at the time in Gdansk, Poland. The story is told through the love story between Marguerite, daughter of the French consul, and Jacek, a romantic and an artist.
August 6th, 5pm til 10 pm
Come celebrate the works of Polish Ancestry in a city containing a rich Polish heritage. Along with works from Philadelphian Poles, artists currently living in Poland have also submitted their work — and so the opening provides a link between Philly’s Polish heritage and the contemporary Polish art scene. Polish refreshments and entertainment.
