<p>Bozar welcomes one of the most powerful and original voices in the Polish cinema scene of the past twenty years: <strong>Małgorzata Szumowska</strong>. Her name stands out as an exception in the cinematic landscape of the region, having gained widespread attention almost from the beginning of her career. Together with her long-time collaborator <strong>Michał Englert</strong>, she will be present for two evenings at Bozar to discuss their artistic practice and the stories that inhabit their films.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>Małgorzata Szumowska &#8211; </strong>born in 1973, Szumowska is an alumna of both Kraków’s Jagiellonian University, where she studied art history, and Łódź’s famed film school. It was at the latter that she met Michał Englert, her close collaborator as co-screenwriter and cinematographer ever since. After a series of short movies that soon revealed her as a valuable new voice, she directed her debut feature, <em>Happy Man </em>(2000), nominated for the European Film Awards and awarded at the Thessaloniki Festival. From here she begins a solid and abundant filmography, present in all major competitions, of which stand out titles such as <em>Elles</em>, starring Juliette Binoche; <em>Body</em>, Best Director at the Berlinale; or <em>Mug</em>, Grand Prize of the Jury at the same festival. In 2023, her last film <em>“Women of&#8230;” </em>was presented at the Venise International Film Festival in the main competition.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>Michał Englert </strong>has collaborated with Małgorzata Szumowska since their years at film school. A cinematographer, screenwriter, producer, and director, he contributed to the creation of <em>The Congress </em>by Ari Folman<em>,</em> as well as numerous other films. What sets his work apart is the naturalistic nuance of his cinematography, which imparts a refined delicacy to the films, creating a contrast to the intensity of the subjects explored.</p>

Anna, Olga’s therapist and a medium, steps in to help using her unique abilities. Set in modern Poland, this story weaves together a prosecutor, his anorexic daughter, and a therapist who connects with the dead, exploring three contrasting views on body and soul. </p>

<p><strong>‘Never Gonna Snow Again!’</strong></p>
<p>They live in a walled part of the city, have everything their hearts desire, but are bored to distraction. Then Zhenia – a mysterious wellness masseuse from the Ukraine – arrives, and the lives of these Polish nouveau riche suddenly gain some spiritual fulfilment. Since Poland has been a member of the EU, wealth in that country has grown spectacularly. So much so that the nouveau riche are withdrawing into ‘gated communities’. </p>

<p><strong>‘33 Scenes from Life’</strong></p>
<p>Julia is a beloved daughter, wife, and successful artist-photographer, living a happy life. Suddenly, everything changes. The death of the family dog is followed by her mother’s cancer diagnosis, and her husband&#8217;s absence leaves her to care for her father. <em>33 Scenes From Life</em> explores the moment when we shift from childhood to adulthood, facing pain, suffering, and inevitable doubts. This film won the Locarno Special Jury Prize and was also selected for the Toronto Film Festival in 2008.</p>

<p style="text-align: left">To mark Poland&#8217;s presidency in the Council of the European Union, Bozar is organising Focus on Poland, with talks, films and an exhibition alongside the finest Polish music.   </p>
<p>In New Voices format, emerging filmmakers present their first or second films. At the beginning of March, the honour falls to Polish director Damian Kocur, who comes to introduce his work. </p>

<p><em><strong>Bread and Salt</strong> </em>is a powerful film that delves into social tensions and personal conflict. The film is inspired by true events and features non-professional actors, giving an authentic and raw quality. It follows Tymek, a talented young pianist returning to his small hometown in Poland, where time seems to have stopped. He witnesses a growing conflict between Arab kebab workers and his local peers, a clash that ultimately turns tragic.</p>

The idea for this artistic voice arose from the state of protesting against violence, resisting prolonged stress, fear and overcoming an feelings of guilt in which Belarusians live nowadays – consciously or not. It is a kind of an invitation to put oneself in a position of being detained in Belarus, and to experience the violence which affects tens of thousands of civilians in Belarus, up to this day. </p>

<p><strong>House of European History</strong><br>The House of European History is a museum in Brussels, focusing on the recent past of the continent of Europe and the European integration process. Located in a building originally created in 1935 by the Swiss architect Michel Polak, the museum takes a transnational approach to events that have united and divided Europeans through time. While learning about Europe’s past, visitors are encouraged to think critically about its present in order to engage in its future. The museum is open seven days a week and entrance is free. An interactive tablet is available in 24 languages.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Join us for the first concert in the<strong> Polish New Generation in Classical Music</strong> series as a part of the European Parlament&#8217;s Thursday Concerts Programme! </p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Concert: Polisn New Generation in Classical Music &#8211; Karski Quartet</strong><br /><strong>January 7, 2025</strong><br /><strong>13:00</strong><br /><strong>EU Quarter &#8211; Info Hub on Esplanade Solidarność 1980</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Duration: this lunchtime concert will be approximately 30 minutes in duration.<br />Entry free.<br />No booking needed; seats are first-come, first-served. Arrive early to secure your spot before the performance.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.karskiquartet.com"><strong>Karski Quartet</strong></a> &#8211; Belgian/Polish string quartet based in Brussels: Kaja Nowak, Natalia Kotarba &#8211; violins, Diede Verpoest &#8211; viola, Julia Kotarba &#8211; cello</p>
<div data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">The story of the Karski Quartet began in 2018. The four musicians were brought together as much by shared musical inspiration as by friendship. Long before the three Polish members completed their music degrees, Kaja Nowak in Warsaw, Natalia and Julia Kotarba in Krakow,  and met the Belgian Diede Verpoest in Brussels, their interest in other cultures was sparked by the European exchange programmes in which they participated. Travelling abroad with the music school folk group for Natalia and Julia, the international summer music workshop in her hometown of Łańcut for Kaja, were the first glimpses at the possibilities that travelling and studying abroad can offer. </div>
<div>Ever since the Karskis started to play together, they have performed internationally across Europe and in Canada, with a US tour planned for 2026. Spring 2025 will see the release of their new CD with quartets by Grazyna Bacewicz.</div>
<div><hr /></div>
<div><strong>Program: </strong><br />Grażyna Bacewicz: String Quartet No. 4<br />Set of Polish folk songs in arrangement for string quartet by Ignacy Zalewski, Paweł Czarny and Karski Quartet</div>
<div data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"> </div>
<div data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">
<div><strong>String Quartet No. 4</strong> is the best known and most often performed among <a href="https://bacewicz.polmic.pl/en/">Grażyna Bacewicz</a>’s seven string quartets. It was written in 1951, following a commission from the Polish Composers’ Union, which invited its members to take part in a composers’ competition for a string quartet organised in Liège. Bacewicz’s piece, entered as “1951”, won the first prize. The “Brussels victory” – as the event was commented on by Grzegorz Fitelberg in a letter to the composer – was discussed extensively by the Polish and foreign press.</div>

<div>The concert series entitled <span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Polish New Generation in Classical Music </span> is organised by the Polish Institute Brussels in cooperation with the European Parliaments Thursday Concerts programme.</div>
