DESCRIPTION:\n	&nbsp\;Total running time: 107 mins.&nbsp\;In Polish with En
 glish subtitles. \n\n\n	A Few Stories about a Man (Dir. Bogdan Dziworski. 
 1983\, 20 mins. Digital projection) “I live with Henri Cartier-Bresson’s i
 mages in my head. I am always interested in a given person’s facial expres
 sions\, or in the dirt that you glimpse under his fingernails.”—Bogdan Dzi
 worski. A maverick experimental filmmaker\, Dziworski presents a story of 
 an armless renaissance man who dives\, skies and draws. Mysterious yet int
 imate\, the short has no dialogue\, and instead focuses on the movements a
 nd the uncanny strength and abilities of its main protagonist. In turns pl
 ayful and unsettling\, A Few Stories about a Man is one of the most memora
 ble portraits in Polish cinema. \n	\n	Declaration of Immortality (Dir. Mar
 cin Koszałka. 2010\, 31 mins. Digital projection) Piotr “Mad” Korczak is a
  legendary mountain climber\, whose best performance is now behind him. St
 ruggling against age and fear of injury\, the defiant sportsman allows Kos
 załka to film and to interview him\, while clearly mistrusting\, and resen
 ting\, the idea of anyone “immortalizing” him on film. As with Koszałka’s 
 other films\, it’s an anti-portrait par excellence\, enlisting our empathy
  in spite of its caustic approach. \n	\n	Benek Blues (Dir. Katarzyna Macie
 jko-Kowalczyk. 1999\, 56 mins. Digital projection.) An infirm elderly fath
 er and his paralyzed son\, Ben\, spend their entire time inside a tiny apa
 rtment looking after and entertaining each other with memories of better d
 ays. Ben\, a well-known commercial photographer\, still receives visits fr
 om aspiring young models and actresses\, though his status is not what it 
 used to be. Warm\, at times politically incorrect\, this hybrid is a rare 
 example of a woman working not just in the editing room\, as until recentl
 y was the case\, but also behind the camera. \n\n\n	\n	Tickets: $15 (Free 
 for members at the Film Lover and MoMI Kids Premium levels and above). Ord
 er tickets online. (Members may contact members@movingimage.us with any qu
 estions regarding online reservations.) \n	\n	  \n	\n	Ticket purchase incl
