Ashes and Diamonds (12A)

16th May 2026

When Maciek meets Krystyna, he is offered a glimpse of a world beyond war and destruction, and questions his assignment. Wajda’s classic drama, which cemented his position as a world-class filmmaker, features an iconic central performance by Cybulski – the ‘Polish James Dean’ – who contributes immeasurably to this probing look at the complex post-war future for a new nation and its people. It’s essential viewing.

This screening is part of Kinoteka on Tour, which is part of the Kinoteka Polish Film Festival.
