Can anyone be a movie character? Can the world be captured in a single frame? Paweł Łoziński films passers-by from the balcony of his Warsaw flat and asks them strange, moving, and provoking questions about their lives.

A sublimely surreal Alice-in-Wonderland tale by renowned Polish director Wojciech Jerzy Has.

Mother Joan of the Angels – 4k

This landmark of Polish cinema is based on the infamous ‘demonic possession’ of a group of nuns in Loudun, France in 1634, which led to a priest being burnt at the stake. These scandalous events also inspired Aldous Huxley’s 1952 novel The Devils of Loudon, and Ken Russell’s notorious 1971 film The Devils.
