Warsaw ’44 (15), Miasto 44

This year the Polish School ln Hitchin celebrates its fifteenth birthday.

The film “Warsaw 44”, made in 2014, by Jan Komasa is a culturally important film in Poland and is on the Polish A-level curriculum in the UK.   It is about the uprising in Warsaw in 1944 but as a film it helped to re-align the national conversation about this historic event.

Jan Komasa is an award winning director.   His latest film “The Good Boy“ released this year stars Stephen Graham and is on our possibles list.

This is a modern war film with romance at its heart so expect some blood and violence but nothing more than you get on TV.

There will be an introductory talk to explain more about the historical context and the film’s significance.   Polish snacks will be served before the film and there will be time for Q&A at the end.   Approximate timings are

Doors and bar with snack from 6pm

Talk 6.40pm

Film 7pm

Q&A 9pm
