Ladies and Gentlemen! We have the great pleasure of inviting you to the 3rd edition of Polish Cinema Night. This time is a film by award-winning Polish director Andrzej Wajda, Innocent Sorcerers, with music of the best Polish jazz composer, Krzystof Komeda.
"The vitality (as well as beauty) of Innocent Sorcerers stems from the perfectly rendered panorama of semi-bohemian Warsaw life circa 1959: the moldy jazz dens, the endless pursuit of yet another love affair, the fashionable spleen veiled in omnipresent cigarette smoke, as well as the underlying dream of turning oneself into one of the characters seen in Western movies. Andrzej and Pelagia, while clearly burdened by the hard-line communist rhetoric of the Stalinist first half of the 1950s (they even refer to themselves jokingly as "model workers"), are in fact devoid of any sense of ideological belonging. As Pelagia says mid-way through the film: "Our generation has no illusions."
The second part of the evening will be a jazz concert performed by very talented Irish musicians, Jackomo Trio .
Jackomo Trio is a well know band in the Irish jazz/funk scene. They have performed at various venues and festivals across the country.
Luke Dunford - piano/organ
Alan Elliot - bass
Aidan O'Donovan - drums
