Organised by the Polish Cultural Institute in London, KINOTEKA is the perfect opportunity to discover (or rediscover) the very best of Polish cinema. Highlights include the powerful drama “Man of iron” (Człowiek z żelaza), among many other must-see titles. It is one of Andrzej Wajda’s landmark films tells the story of a filmmaker searching for the truth about a forgotten workers’ hero.

The Palme d’Or-winning follow-up to Man of Marble sees Winkel, a Communist-friendly radio journalist, charged with finding compromising information about a Solidarity opposition leader. But in witnessing protesting workers’ fight against political propaganda and commitment to overturn a repressive regime, Winkel questions his own beliefs. Directly addressing the contemporary political situation as Poland entered the 1980s, Man of Iron combines fact and fiction to stunning effect, resulting in one of Wajda’s most profound artistic achievements.
