Hanna has just finished the film\u00a0Something Better To Come, which she has been shooting for the past 14 years, even before she made The Children of Leningradsky.\nONE WORLD is devoted to documentary films which stand up for human rights. The Brussels version, which is the 9th, will take place\u00a0from 4 until 12 May 2015. 17 films, selected in Prague (and in 33 other Czech cities) at the Czech edition of the festival, will be screened in various venues in the capital: Bozar, European Parliament, the Goethe Institut, the Norwegian Mission to the EU and cin\u00e9ma Aventure. The screenings will all be followed by audiences with the directors, human rights activists, experts or representatives of the European Union. The screenings are free (apart from Bozar and Cin\u00e9ma Aventure) but you need to register before the event (especially for the European Parliament)."},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2015\/05\/07\/something-better-to-come-by-hanna-polak\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/05\/99990fr-6-5.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/05\/99990fr-6-5.png","width":572,"height":358,"caption":"Something Better to Come \u00a9 Hanna Polak"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2015\/05\/07\/something-better-to-come-by-hanna-polak\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"&#8220;Something Better to Come&#8221; by Hanna POLAK"}]},{"@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\/ccb27e6f37dc023e9a8d394b9bc37c18","name":"dyjakn","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8275a451988be0ae9a525d2a55b644f7?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8275a451988be0ae9a525d2a55b644f7?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"dyjakn"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/author\/dyjakn\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4116","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\/127"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4116"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4116\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4117,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4116\/revisions\/4117"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
