The Polish Institute Tel Aviv welcomes the new year with the Polish Cultural Heroes Series (Polish Masterclass Series) with the Polish author Marek Hłasko.
Hłasko was the star of literature and culture in Poland thanks to his tough and humanistic writing. Among his well-known books is ‘ The 8th Day Of The Week’ and ‘Killing The 2nd Dog’.
Join us for a conversation with film director Zvika Gregory Fortney who will screen parts of a new documentary about Hłasko called Chamsin that describes his life in Israel in the 1950s. Hear from the literary critic Julia Parmento why she loves Hłasko’s writing so much and learn from the film director Uri Bar- On what is unique about this non-Jewish Pole, who came to Israel and fell in love with it and its people during very difficult times. Actor Yehoyachin Friedlander will read selected excerpts from the writer’s work.
The event will take place on January 19 at 10:30, at the Polish Institute in Tel Aviv, 3 Rothschild St. Tel Aviv, 22nd floor
