An intimate evening with a legend of Polish theatre and film.
As part of Polish Film Festival North America 2026, on Saturday, November 7 at 5:00 PM we invite you to Dwell Studio in Chicago for a screening of the documentary „Jan Englert. Spróbuję jeszcze raz pofrunąć” (Jan Englert. I’ll Try to Fly Again), directed by Maciej Dancewicz.
The film is a portrait of Jan Englert — actor, director and teacher, for more than twenty years the artistic director of the National Theatre in Warsaw. It moves between the professional and the private: the discipline of the stage, the work with generations of students, and the reflections of a man looking back at what he built. Among those who speak about him are Beata Ścibakówna, Helena Englert, Anna Dymna, Maja Komorowska, Małgorzata Kożuchowska and Danuta Stenka.
Right after the screening, join us for a meeting and conversation with Jan Englert.
