Screenings of the documentary ‘Trains’ by Maciej J. Drygas at Bertha DocHouse
More chances to see the award-winning documentary 'Trains'. From next week, you can watch it in London outside of Kinoteka 2026.
WHEN: 20-25 MARCH 2026
WHERE: BERTHA DOCHOUSE, Curzon Bloomsbury, The Brunswick, London, WC1N 1AW
Elegantly crafted entirely from black and white archive footage, Trains is a mesmerising portrait of Europe in the first half of the 20th Century.
Taking in all the delights of early locomotive travel, the development of industry and commuter moments both unusual and mundane, the footage takes a darker turn as first one war and then another make their mark upon history and humanity.
Maciej Drygas’ wordless documentary – which won the IDFA Grand Prize – is a profound, sweeping history of the 20th Century, movingly capturing its hope and its tragedy.

Polish Fashion Stories: Unexpected Encounter – Batik
The earliest known examples of Polish batiks appeared around 1903 at an exhibition in Kraków, when the artist Jan Bukowski presented furniture upholstered in textiles decorated with what was called then “a manner of Easter eggs” - it was before the term batik had even entered the Polish language. From this point, other Kraków artists began to further explore the technique and its possibilities.
