August 1: the beginning of Carl Th. Dreyer Retrospective
We’d like to remind that on August 1 at 12:00 p.m. we’re opening the retrospective review of the works of Carl Th. Dreyer, a director who had a huge influence on the development of cinema. Dreyer, raised in Lutheran family, focused in his works on the conflict between man and institution: state and religious alike.
The representatives of the Danish Film Institute, Thomas C. Christensen and Casper Tybjerg, will be our guests this year, accompanied by Maria Kornatowska and Tadeusz Szczepański, professors from the Łódź Film School, experts and admirers of Dreyer’s works. So prepare for a considerable amount of information, anecdotes and analyses of this Danish director’s films.
