Polish director Agnieszka Holland has been one of global cinema’s most daring, versatile, and politically committed voices. She emerged as a significant filmmaker with a trilogy of powerful and unflinching films: her feature debut Provincial Actors<\/em> (1978), Fever<\/em> (1980), and A Woman Alone<\/em> (1981). The latter was banned by authorities and could only be viewed at private and semi-private screenings through illegal copies. Following the declaration of martial law in 1981, Holland emigrated to France, where she continued her successful career, making films in France, Germany, England, and the United States. This is a rare opportunity to see Agnieszka Holland\u2019s early trilogy in the U.S., along with a special screening of her newest work, Green Border<\/em> (2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicago:<\/strong> Saturday, July 13 at 4:00 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dir. Agnieszka Holland. 2023, 152 min. Shot in stark black-and-white, this riveting thriller explores the intractable conflict from multiple perspectives. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by Belarusian and Russian propaganda promising easy passage to the EU.

Provincial Actors <\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicago:<\/strong> Saturday, July 20 at 4:00 PM
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dir. Agnieszka Holland. 1979, 121 mins. Poland. In Polish with English subtitles. DCP. With Tadeusz Huk, Halina Labonarska. Holland first gained early recognition with this powerful, claustrophobic study of the tensions and conflicts among the members of a minor theatrical troupe in a small town near Warsaw. Provincial Actors employ Brechtian distancing devices to intensify an atmosphere and searingly explore her characters’ predicaments. It\u2019s a film that reflects Holland\u2019s love of theater, abhorrence of censorship, ambiguity towards relationships, and overall mischievous sense of humor while avoiding the clich\u00e9s of the backstage genre.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicago:<\/strong> Saturday, July 27 at 4:00 PM 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dir. Agnieszka Holland. 1981, 122 mins. Poland. In Polish with English subtitles. 2K restored DCP. With Olgierd Lukaszewicz, Barbara Grabowska, Adam Ferency. Holland’s tense, gripping 1905-set drama depicts a group of underground Polish anarchists as they arm themselves and build bombs to resist the incoming Russian Tsarist oppression. Lead actress Grabowska won the Silver Bear for Best Actress at the 1981 Berlin International Film Festival for the film, yet the film was nevertheless banned in Poland after martial law was declared later that year. Fever <\/em>was the second to last film Holland made in her home country before being exiled to France.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Woman Alone <\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Angeles: <\/strong>July 10 at 8:00 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicago:<\/strong> Saturday, August 3 at 4:00 PM <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dir. Agnieszka Holland. 1987, 92 mins. Poland. In Polish with English subtitles. DCP. With Maria Chwalib\u00f3g, Bogus\u0142aw Linda, Pawe\u0142 Witczak. Holland\u2019s last film, made in her home country before she self-exiled to France, is a thinly veiled critique of the communist totalitarian system that was banned in Poland. In this powerful character portrait, a woman (a brilliant performance by Chwalib\u00f3g) struggles to raise her eight-year-old son with little support in a small town. This nuanced, finely crafted film is a quietly startling vision of communist government bureaucracy, detailing its stifling impact on the community’s and individuals’ daily lives.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Agnieszka Holland. 1987, 92 mins. Poland. In Polish with English subtitles. DCP. With Maria Chwalib\u00f3g, Bogus\u0142aw Linda, Pawe\u0142 Witczak. Holland\u2019s last film, made in her home country before she self-exiled to France, is a thinly veiled critique of the communist totalitarian system that was banned in Poland. In this powerful character portrait, a woman (a brilliant performance by Chwalib\u00f3g) struggles to raise her eight-year-old son with little support in a small town. This nuanced, finely crafted film is a quietly startling vision of communist government bureaucracy, detailing its stifling impact on the community's and individuals' daily lives. \nAgnieszka Holland, born on November 28, 1948, is a renowned Polish film and television director and screenwriter.
