This past Sunday marked a century of Polish independence, and to celebrate its culture and unique story, the Polish Cultural Council is hosting six days of film screenings with the Polish Film Festival. Selections range from Warsaw 44, a dramatic depiction of the 1944 Warsaw uprising, to Breaking the Limits, an inspiring story of a man overcoming drug addiction to become a champion triathlete. Both Saturday screenings include a Q&A with the films’ directors. Falcons of Freedom is a new documentary on the role Polish-Americans played in Poland’s fight for independence 100 years ago, directed by Robert Wachowiak, screening at 4:30 p.m. The Butler studies a divided Europe and the people caught between the governmental struggles. The nine films will screen in English or in Polish with English subtitles.
