CENSORSHIP AS A CREATIVE FORCE

ScreenTalk with AGNIESZKA HOLLAND, ISTVAN SZABO and JIRI MENZEL & film season

At this once-in-a-lifetime event, three of the most important and influential European filmmakers of our times will meet in a Barbican ScreenTalk.

The three are united by the common theme of censorship, having operated under the restrictions of Communist censorship in Poland, Hungary and the former Czechoslovakia. Together, they will discuss their work, struggles and adventures under these regimes - and how, against all odds, their art was empowered by its worst enemy.

Organised in association with the Czech Centre and the Hungarian Cultural Centre

We are both very sad and sorry to inform you that Andrzej Wajda will no longer be able to attend KINOTEKA for medical reasons.

Despite the sad news, we are happy to announce that Agnieszka Holland agreed to take Mr. Wajda’s place in the CENSORSHIP AS A CREATIVE FORCE panel with Istvan Szabo and Jiri Menzel at The Barbican.
