Moscow Square to Show in Warsaw

English

Török's film will be screened on March 12, said Teresa Sadowska, one of the programme's organisers.

 
Török said he was happy to see the film, which he made ten years ago, show in Poland.
 
Moscow Square is a coming of age film that shows how the director "partied" when he was 18 years old, according to Török. (The director was born in 1971.) The politics of the 80s are present in the work, but not to a great extent, he added.
 

"Moscow Square speaks to many from Germany to Serbia to Poland as the audiences in these countries have an understanding just like [in Hungary], because these societies burned with a desire for freedom. This feeling was euphoric and collective, it bound the people in the entire region," Török said.

 
Also on the festival programme will be Miroslav Janek's documentary of the former Czech president Václav Havel Citizen Havel. In addition to a performance by the legendary Rolling Stones, the documentary also captures former U.S. president Bill Clinton playing saxophone, said Sadowska.
