Polish films unspool in the UK
Focusing on films from the 12 most recent EU member countries, the New Europe Film Festival will run from April 1-12 at the Edinburgh Filmhouse with a line-up including four quality Polish titles.
The event will screen three features that stood out at the Gdynia Polish Film Festival: Marek Lechki’s Erratum (Best Debut Film in 2010); Marcin Wrona’s The Christening [+see also:
