	The Model Arts and Niland Gallery is proud to present a major festival of contemporary Polish film. This week long festival will be accompanied by various platform discussions with students from The Polish Film School and curators Adam Klimczak and Alicja Chicowicz, addressing the work of contemporary Polish film makers and those allied with the legendary Lodz Film School, Poland.

	Polish film making; highly regarded throughout the world, has been attracting prestigious awards at International film festivals for decades.

Considering the rich history of Polish film making, it proves difficult to cull but a few from the ample repository of Polish film history, however the works chosen for the Polish Film Festival at the Model will be representative of particular select styles drawn from classic and contemporary film making. Incorporating artists who have worked since the late 1960’s on both large and small budget productions it will include experimental works, documentaries, features and animations. The festival programme will present films that are intellectually and artistically stimulating, that reflect the reality of Polish life but whose thematic structures are universal in addressing the human condition.

This will be the perfect opportunity for film buffs and culture heads to experience life through the Polish lens, with quirky animations, slick shorts, and epic features on offer throughout the week. All inclusive festival tickets priced €10 and special day tickets priced €5 will be available from The Model Box Office, or to order by phone on 071 914 1405.
