On October 15, Andrzej Wajda\u2019s epic The Promised Land (1975) will be followed by a conversation with Seweryn, who will share his memories of filming this landmark of Polish cinema. His long collaboration with Wajda is also represented by two other films in the programme: Danton (October 9) and The Conductor (October 20), for which Seweryn won the Silver Bear for Best Actor at the Berlinale.\nOn October 17, the international premiere of the brand-new film Picasso\u2019s Mermaid will be followed by an in-depth conversation with the actor about his career. From his early collaborations with Wajda and \u017bu\u0142awski to his work in France and Poland with filmmakers such as Ra\u00fal Ruiz and Steven Spielberg, Seweryn will look back on the films, directors, characters and encounters that have shaped his extraordinary career.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2026\/10\/01\/19eme-edition-de-cineast-2\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"pl-PL","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2026\/10\/01\/19eme-edition-de-cineast-2\/"]}],"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","startDate":"2026-10-09","endDate":"2026-10-25","eventStatus":"EventScheduled","eventAttendanceMode":"OfflineEventAttendanceMode","location":{"@type":"place","name":"","address":"","geo":{"@type":"GeoCoordinates","latitude":"","longitude":""}},"offers":{"@type":"Offer"}},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2026\/10\/01\/19eme-edition-de-cineast-2\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/10\/prog.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/10\/prog.jpg","width":700,"height":457},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2026\/10\/01\/19eme-edition-de-cineast-2\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"19th edition of Cin\u00c9ast"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/","name":"Instytut Polski w Brukseli","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"pl-PL"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/e56fb6547f3fd8204d24f2c0c98592eb","name":"jansena","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/37959de2e13d1c9a00aac5b8a49a567cb966c32256f3926dedf0eacd23d1376f?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/37959de2e13d1c9a00aac5b8a49a567cb966c32256f3926dedf0eacd23d1376f?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"jansena"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/author\/jansena\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/232"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21027"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21027\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21904,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21027\/revisions\/21904"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
