Road 28 Productions - Kuba Lu:
As many of you may know, on July 7, 2019, we lost Milos Stehlik, one of the true giants of American and international film culture.
https://variety.com/…/milos-stehlik-facets-multimedia-chic…/
I personally met Milos a dozen of times at various film screenings and Q&A events. The first thing that struck me about him was his sincere and greeting smile. He had a tremendous passion for world cinema, and Polish cinema was lucky enough to find a special place in his heart. Last summer, when I started working on our documentary film celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Polish Film Festival in America, my first call was to Milos. We shot the interview at Facets, and as we wrapped, I realized that I could sit there and listen to him speak for hours. What I didn’t realize at the time was that it would be one of our last encounters.
The attached clip is the last and what I believe to be the most profound sentence of that interview. We hope to see many of you, our Polish film friends, at St. Mary of the Angels Church, this Saturday, July 13, 2019 at 9 a.m. for a special Polish farewell to Milos.

Sunday Feb 24, 2019 - 3 pm - FRYDERYK - fantastic Tv Theatre play from TVP SA - thanks Agnieszka Lipiec-Wroblewska for bringing it to Chicago for our festival -3rd Chopin IN the City 2019.
Special first screening in USA - but not the last...
Based on the book by Piotr Witt, "On the Threshold of Fame - Chopin's First Steps in Paris - Przedpiekle slawy - Rzecz o Chopinie".
"Fryderyk" deals with the first few months of Chopin's stay in Paris, when he struggled to get accepted by the French cultural elite. A parallel thread within the story follows a young, modern-day pianist, Adela, who investigates Chopin's life in Paris and discovers the circumstances of how the true nature of his musical genius finally revealed itself to the Parisians.
Wonderful cast! Great cinematography by Wojciech Staroń!
Some pictures - Q & A moderated by Zbigniew Banas -

My Friend the Polish Girl (Moja polska dziewczyna) dir. Ewa Banaszkiewicz, Mateusz Dymek
A young, rich American girl, Katie, decides to make a documentary film about Alicja, an impulsive Polish actress living in London. During the making of the film, the interference of Katie in the life of her character means serious consequences. The film which was supposed to be a documentary about the cancer of Alicja’s partner becomes an exploration of hidden desires and dark sides, both of the character and the director. 2018, 87 min, Poland Polish with English subtitles Direction/Reżyseria EWA BANASZKIEWICZ, MATEUSZ DYMEK Cast Aneta Piotrowska (Alicja Dąbrowska), Emma Friedman-Cohen (Katie Broughton), Daniel Barry (Michael) , Andy Abbott (Alex ), Darren Rose (Mike), Max Davis (Max) http://www.pffamerica.org/en/presents/my-friend-the-polish-girl/ https://www.facebook.com/events/274607956503930/ #30PFFA schedule: http://bit.ly/2yxulx6 #Polish #Film #Festival #Polonia #Chicago #PoloniaChicago #ChicagoFilm #PolishChicago #ChicagoPolish #PolishFilm #EuropeanFilm #festival #EventsChicago #Chicagotodo #actress #event #chicagoevents #Chicago #Chicagofilm

MLYNARSKI. THE FINAL SONG
AMC ROSEMONT 18 (9701 Bryn Mawr Ave., Rosemont, IL) SUNDAY, 11/05/2017 4:00 pm. FACETS CINEMATHEQUE (1517 W. Fullerton Ave. Chicago, IL) SATURDAY, 11/11/2017 7:00 pm. Wojciech Młynarski said, “A song is a small work that can provoke thinking, but, unfortunately, cannot replace it.” In over 3500 songs, he portrayed his contemporaries, creating a chronicle of Poland and Poles. His songs remain an accurate and severe picture of Poland. As Janusz Głowacki says in the film, “In those miniatures of his, the Polish People’s Republic was reflected more clearly than in a three-part novel.” Archival materials, photographs, and video, unseen until now, along with new material recall his most beautiful songs. Wojciech Młynarski’s friends and relatives speak in the film – among them: Janusz Gajos, Janusz Głowacki, Jerzy Derfel, Janusz Sent, Włodzimierz Korcz, Ewa Bem, Janusz Stokłosa, Irena Santor, Michał Bajo, Magda Zawadzka, Krystyna Janda. These were the people who created with him and with whom he created, outstanding composers, actors, singers. Those honest, uncensored stories have built a portrait of an unusual artist, but also of a personality struggling with human weaknesses. ALICJA ALBRECHT Director, producer, journalist, and pedagogue. She completed her master’s studies at the Faculty of Polish Philology at the University of Wrocław and postgraduate studies in mediation and negotiation at the Warsaw School of Social Psychology. Author of numerous documentary films, reportages, news programs, radio and television shows. Laureate of many national and international awards. In the film and television industry since 1979. https://www.facebook.com/events/205253763349120 http://www.pffamerica.org/en/presents/mlynarski-the-final-song/

Comments
I admire this institution's dedication to promoting art and film appreciation across borders. I'm always searching for ways to support independent filmmakers and artists and I recently came across a film called 'Queen of Hearts' which told the story of the American artist, Audrey Flack, who is credited with pioneering the photorealism movement. This film wonderfully combined art and film and it was so informative. I was able to view it on Film Festival Flix, an online platform dedicated to independent cinema. If anyone has a way they continue to support filmmakers and artists, let me know!
