POLISH PRAYERS
NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE Can people truly change? In Hanka Nobis’s engrossing observational film, she follows a 22-year-old Polish man named Antek as he goes from membership in a far-right, anti-LGBTQ group called The Brotherhood to, four years later, joining his girlfriend for a Gay Pride march he formerly protested against. What happens to Antek in those four years reveals much about the character of those who traffic in hate as a means of identification. – Jaie Laplante
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Hanka Nobis and producer Esther van Messel.
All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
