8th June : 
Z Punktu Widzenia Nocnego Portiera (From A Night Porter’s Point Of View) 
(Polish/Docu/1977/17mins) 
Dir.Krzysztof Kieślowski 
The only movie ever made by Kieślowski which features a negative character in the lead role, the film presents the everyday life and work of a night watchman whose only wish is to bring perfect order to the world. Kieślowski recorded the monologue of a night watchman on tape in order to seek inspiration for his speech and apply it to the scenes in the movie.

Dreszcze (Shivers) 
(Polish/Feature/1981/106mins) 
Dir.Wojciech Marczewski 
An autobiographic tale of false initiation and the seductive power of ideology. Winner of the Silver Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival, the movie remains one of the most important and interesting takes on the Stalinist period till date. 

9th June : 
Przypadek (Blind Chance) (Polish/Feature/1981/124mins) 
Dir.Krzysztof Kieślowski 
A movie about the universal belief in the inner autonomy of each human being. A voice in political debate against simplified black and white divisions. One of the movies “arrested” in the 1980s, it includes a sterling performance by Bogusław Linda. 

10th June : 
Moje Zapiski Z Podziemia (My Notes From The Underground) 
(Polish/Docu/2011/40mins) 
Dir.Jacek Petrycki 
A short documentary in which the director returns to the unofficial materials from 1980s featuring active members of the Solidarity trade union in hiding from authorities during martial law. The director combined interviews with the heroes, speaking about their lives in hiding, waiting for better days, with documented acts of sabotage – distribution of leaflets and rehearsals for illegal theatrical shows. The movie includes interviews with the most distinguished members of the opposition - Jacek Kuroń, Zbigniew Bujak, and Jan Lityński.

Szczurołap (The Rat-Catcher) 
(Polish/Docu/1986/20mins) 
Dir.Andrzej Czarnecki 
A documentary about a man who exterminates rats. The hero reveals the secrets of his careful preparations for the fight against his intelligent opponent. The movie is an ambiguous picture, reflecting symbolically on the relations between citizen and authority.
