Martin Scorsese fell in love with Polish cinema when he was in college—fifty years later, he has brought some of the greatest cinematic master-pieces from Poland's rich film history on a major North American tour. We partner this fall with the Seattle Polish Film Festival for a special, pre-festival presentation of seven Polish classics, selected by Scorsese, and restored in pristine digital prints. This major series includes Andrzej Wajda’s Ashes and Diamonds, hailed by Scorsese as one of the ten best films ever made.

October 18 – 21

EARSHOT JAZZ Sponsored by KPLU 88.5

Every year we team up with the Earshot Jazz Festival to present films that celebrate the history, sounds and spirit of jazz on screen. This year includes a new restoration of one of the first ever films made about graffiti (with a soundtrack that features the music of Charles Mingus) and a documentary about Rahsaan Roland Kirk, a multi-instrumentalist who overcame disability and discrimination throughout his impressive career.

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

A LETTERLyall Bush Executive Director

Just before the French New Wave emerged, in the late 1950s, another, earlier one broke in Poland, and it too bristled with a half dozen talented film-makers who set to work to make a new kind of cinema. Emerging from the national film school in Łódz the filmmakers were as rigorous as they were rebellious; and while Truffaut, Godard, Rohmer and Chabrol stirred their love of American films into grittier and more playful ver-sions of the same stories, in Poland Andrej Wajda, Krzyzstof Zanussi, Roman Polanski and, eventually, Krzyzstof Kieslowski each aimed for his own image of liberation and the new. It’s a story Northwest Film Forum started to tell this summer and that we will continue this fall.

For the Poles, the memory of war, and the victory of World War II, was continuous with the experience of tyranny that came just after it: the German tanks that rolled over Poland’s border to begin the hot war resemble the Soviet tanks that came to start the Cold one. By the accounts of the densely pretty and complicated films that started to pour out a decade long after that, the whole culture was in a conversation about freedom and the power of love to alter the taste of metal that totalitarian rule left. Polanski emerged, perhaps most famously, from this school, and then left for England, France and Hollywood. Those who stayed included the great Andrej Wajda, whose 1981 film, Man of Iron, came a quarter century after he first impressed Godard with Ashes and Diamonds (1958), and is itself rich in images of Poland’s desire to shed their master. Among the other films in this series is Krzystof Zanussi’s densely imagined The Illumination, Wojciech Has’s The Saragossa Manuscript, which impressed Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter as much as Luis Bunuel, and Kieslowski’s early classic, A Short Film About Killing.

Martin Scorsese, whose Film Foundation is responsible for the beautiful restorations of these films, has said that these films made a strong impact on him when he was at NYU Film School.

“The [Łódz] School nurtured in me,” Scorsese has said, “an unshakeable belief in the power of artistic expression.” Come and see for yourselves.

FILMMAKERS WERE AS RIGOROUS AS THEY WERE

REBELLIOUS; AND, EVENTUALLY, EACH AIMED

FOR HIS OWN IMAGE OF LIBERATION AND THE NEW.
