'Po-Lin' is Hebrew for 'we shall settle down here'. When Jews in exile from Germany, Spain and Portugal reached Poland ('Po-Lin'), they interpreted the lingustic coincidence as a good sign and settled down there with their families.
In this award-winning film, lively and vital societies of 1930's Poland are reconstructed. This was a time when the Jewish and Polish cultures co-existed and nourished each other. Unique archival images breathe new life into a lost world, the sounds anchoring history in the present.
'Po-Lin' is a superb deomnstration of singular craftsmanship, which, without denying a painful past, suceeeds in casting new light on that which the war had.
The screening has been organised in partnership with the Spiro Ark.
