Krzysztof Zanussi (b. 1939) is one of Poland’s most important filmmakers. Thanks to a gift from the Polish Film Institute in Warsaw, and in collaboration with the Polish Cultural Institute in New York, MoMA recently acquired new 35mm English-subtitled prints of three of Zanussi’s finest films—Family Life (1971), Camouflage (1977), and The Constant Factor (1980)—adding considerably to the Museum’s collection of Polish cinema. Zanussi will present these films together with the New York premiere of his most recent film, Revisited (2009), on January 29. All films are from Poland, written and directed by Krzysztof Zanussi, and in Polish with English subtitles.
Organized by Joshua Siegel, Associate Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition is supported by the Polish Cultural Institute in New York; the Polish Film Institute, Warsaw; the Polish National Film Archive; and TOR Film Studio, Warsaw.
