Top Dog

Danielak will stop at nothing to achieve his aim of hosting the town’s 500th anniversary celebrations. Nothing. In this early role Jerzy Stuhr (soon to be seen in Provincial Actors and Camera Buff) plays the entertainer to perfection as an intentionally evil man with an overt lack of morals.

Causing much debate on its release in Poland Top Dog exposed the consequences of weak moral codes and offered a reading of corruption that was not limited to show business. Falk (also an artist and theatre director) was working alongside Holland and Kieslowski in Wajda’s X Film Unit, at the forefront of the emerging Cinema of Moral Anxiety. The film had success on the International festival circuit including winning the Golden Plaque at Chicago 1979.

The screening will be followed by an afterparty inspired by the film at our neighbours Ognisko Polskie – The Polish Hearth, led by Margot Przymierska with a buffet, drinks, dancing and live entertainment.

Screening + Closing Gala tickets can be purchased from the website of the Polish Hearth Club here
