BAD SHABBOS

Daniel Robbins, Zack Weiner, USA, 2024, 84 min

A cracking comedy straight from Manhattan. David's parents invite the parents of his fiancée, Meg, for a Shabbat dinner. It will be their first meeting, and to complicate matters, the guests are Catholics, not Jews, so everyone must really try hard to avoid gaffes and awkwardness. But with a little goodwill from both sides, can anything really go wrong? The answer is obvious, yet the screenwriters still manage to surprise with a cascade of improper gags and plot twists, which naturally must include the unexpected appearance of a corpse that ne ... read more

FRANZ KAFKA

Agnieszka Holland, Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, France, 2025, 127 min

Special screening "Road to Warsaw Jewish Film Festival". The Polin Museum and the Warsaw Jewish Film Festival invite you to a special screening of the film "Franz Kafka" directed by Agnieszka Holland - a poignant portrait of a writer whose imagination and sensitivity were ahead of their time.

The international production "Franz Kafka" is a moving cinematic portrait of one of the most important writers of the 20th century – a literary genius, a visionary, and at the same time, a man entangled in fears and dilemmas that are also close to contemporary audiences. Holland builds an extraordinary mosaic from the most important moments of Kafka's life, in which the writer's private experiences meet universal questions about loneliness, identity, and the human condition.

FÜHRER AND SEDUCER

Joachim A. Lang, Germany, Slovakia, 2024, 135 min

Hitler's insane ideas needed executors - men devoted to the Führer, yet simultaneously consumed by ambition and a lust for power. One of the most loyal was Joseph Goebbels, presented by Joachim A. Lang as the dark genius of Third Reich propaganda and the "seducer" of an entire nation. At the same time, he is a man disturbingly similar to the cynical spin doctors of contemporary politics. He is dynamic, hardworking, and devilishly inventive. He directs the press editors, eminent personalities of culture and especially cinema, which was the "new ... read more

ONCE UPON MY MOTHER

Ken Scott, France, Canada, 2025, 102 min

Paris, 1963. Roland, the youngest of six siblings, is a boy unlike the others. Doctors predict he will never walk, but his unyielding mother, Esther, refuses to accept this verdict. With a combination of unwavering faith and an extraordinary capacity for denial, she decides to confront the (seemingly) insurmountable odds. Her courage and love, sharp wit, humor, and belief in alternative medicine pave the way for Roland to live the wondrous life Esther has always dreamed of. The film is based on the autobiographical memories of Roland Perez, who grew up in a home full of hope, the music of Sylvie Vartan, and a mother's determination that, with the passage of years, proved to be as destructive as it was overflowing with love...
