Meet the authors of FROM WITHIN.
The meeting will take place after the screening of FROM WITHIN.
Zdzisław Beksiński is one of the most recognizable 20th century Polish painters. His surreal, visionary images remain hugely popular with audiences and are an inspiration to upcoming generations of artists. Beksiński was capturing his home life and creative process in the 1987-1997 period on video; “From Within” is composed entirely of the footage recorded by the master himself as well as by his family, resulting in a uniquely intimate diary which also chronicles the period of social change in Poland.
