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.
