### **ABOUT THE FILMS:** **DEKALOG: THREE, 1988, Dir. Krzysztof Kieślowski, 58 Mins, Janus Films, Poland** *In Polish with English subtitles.* It’s Christmas Eve, and Ewa has plotted to pass the hours until morning with her former lover Janusz, a family man, by making him believe her husband has gone missing. During this night of recklessness and lies, the pair grapple with choices made when their affair was discovered three years ago, and with the value of their present lives. FORMAT: DCP **DEKALOG: FOUR, 1988, Dir. Krzysztof Kieślowski, 57 Mins, Janus Films, Poland** *In Polish with English subtitles.* A father and daughter, Michał and Anka, have a unique intimacy, which the college-aged Anka is beginning to feel conflicted about. When she finds an unopened letter from her deceased mother, it seems to justify her attraction to Michał, who may not in fact be her father. FORMAT: DCP ### **ABOUT THE EVENT:** **DEKALOG, 1988, Dir. Krzysztof Kieślowski, Janus Films, Poland** This masterwork by Krzysztof Kieślowski is one of the twentieth century’s greatest achievements in visual storytelling. Originally made for Polish television, DEKALOG focuses on the residents of a housing complex in late-Communist Poland, whose lives become subtly intertwined as they face emotional dilemmas that are at once deeply personal and universally human. Its ten hour-long films, drawing from the Ten Commandments for thematic inspiration and an overarching structure, grapple deftly with complex moral and existential questions concerning life, death, love, hate, truth, and the passage of time. Shot by nine different cinematographers, with stirring music by Zbigniew Preisner and compelling performances from established and unknown actors alike, DEKALOG arrestingly explores the unknowable forces that shape our lives.
