Yesterday, Polish director Andrezj Wajda died at age 90<\/a>. He was among the most distinguished Polish filmmakers of his generation or in general: his accolades include a Palme d’Or for his labor rights film Man of Iron<\/i> and a 1999 honorary Oscar for his lifetime body of work.<\/p>\n

As with Man of Iron<\/i>, many of Wajda’s works were influenced by his lifetime in Poland during its occupation in World War II and rule over the Soviet Union. Many of his films were challenged or banned by Soviet authorities; he was not able to produce Katy\u0144<\/i>, a film about a 1940 massacre of the Polish, until after Poland’s independence.<\/p>\n

If you want to watch some of Wajda’s impactful, distinctly Polish cinematic vision, we have a number of his films available in the library, including two through streaming.<\/p>\n
