Wajda at 100

An all-encompassing retrospective to celebrate the legendary auteur, 100 years after his birth.

From the beginning of his career, with his revered war trilogy, director Andrzej Wajda established himself as a singular voice in Polish and world cinema.

Wajda was the recipient of every major international film honour, including the Palme d’Or and Academy Honorary Award.

His cinema is located within the fabric of Polish history and society, reflecting how major historical events shape an individual and a nation, and initiating debates about national identity.

He was equally committed to portraying complex human relationships, moral responsibility and fortitude – often under duress – as he was in exploring the role of art and artists in revealing suppressed truths.
