Screening of Andrzej Wajda’s Katyn
At Proctors Theater in Schenectady, Friday, May 22, 2009 at 2:30pm, 5:10pm & 7:45pm
This Oscar nominated film follows the story of four Polish families whose lives are torn apart when, at the outset of WWII, a great number of Polish soldiers fall into the hands of Soviet troops and later brutally become victims of Stalinism along with citizens in the Katyn forest in 1940.
This war drama is not rated. This film is in Polish, Russian and German with English subtitles. This film has a total running time of 121 minutes. Tickets are $6.
I want to recommend that everyone see Andrzej Wajda’s film KATYN. I saw it at a local international film festival last year and was deeply moved
as were most of the audience. As Polish Americans, we should all be
familiar with this World War II Soviet atrocity which present-day Russians still have a hard time admitting.
