Wladyslaw Strzeminski was an iconoclastic artist, educator and author whose work clashed with the Stalinist ideology of postwar Poland, and his story serves as an inspiration for all of us seeking the strength to speak truth to power in today’s troubled political climate.
This passionate, masterfully made final work from Oscar-winning Polish director Andrzej Wajda vividly chronicles Strzeminski’s struggles with the darkening skies of totalitarianism. Boldly embodied by Polish superstar Boguslaw Linda, Strzeminski bucks against the dominant social realist conventions while navigating numerous challenges as a creator, parent, mentor and double-amputee.
Presented in collaboration with The American Institute of Polish Culture Inc.
In collaboration with Miami Beach Cinematheque, the Festival co-presents a retrospective of some of Wajda’s most important films, throughout the month of March.
Watch ASHES AND DIAMONDS at the Miami Beach Cinematheque.
