"Les Mardis Polonais" as part of the series "Solidarity on Screen: The Polish Presidency Film Review"

For six months, the Reflet Médicis cinema, nestled in the picturesque Saint-Germain-des-Prés district of Paris, will showcase films from the Solidarity on Screen: The Polish Presidency Film Review program. Known for its dedication to promoting artistic and independent cinema, Reflet Médicis has long been a key venue on France's cultural map, attracting audiences in search of ambitious and diverse productions.

The program will feature a selection of full-length and short films, with a focus on themes of youth and works by female filmmakers. Presented as part of the Le Mardis Polonais series, the screenings are organized in collaboration with the Polish Institute in Paris and Reflet Médicis. Each screening will be accompanied by discussions with invited Polish filmmakers or film experts, offering audiences an opportunity to gain insights into their creative processes and the stories behind the featured films.

Feature films directed by women will be preceded by debut short films by world-renowned Polish filmmakers.
