Details A GENERATION (Andrzej Wajda, 1955, DCP, 87 mins)
In Nazi-occupied Warsaw, a reckless teen drifts from petty crime into the underground resistance, discovering purpose and first love amidst the brutality of war. Through restless camera movements and vivid location shooting, Wajda’s debut feature captures both the exhilaration and the terrible cost of political awakening, and introduces themes that would define his career: moral ambiguity, national identity, and the hard choices demanded by history. The opening salvo in one of cinema’s greatest trilogies. In Polish with English subtitles.

Man of Vision: Andrzej Wajda Centenary Film Series” celebrates the Polish director through six of his greatest films.
