NEW DELHI: Not all the Indians are aware of tremendous similarities between the historical transformation of India and Poland - say functionaries of the Polish Institute in New Delhi who are now promoting Andrzej Wajda's Oscar-tipped movie, 'Walesa. Man of hope'.

According to them, the film may help to compare the stories of two distant countries. It is a depiction of the life of Lech Walesa, Poland's Solidarity movement founder and Nobel Peace Prize winner, whose courage and commitment led to peaceful revolution and fall of the totalitarian regime in 1989.

Anna Tryc-Bromley, director of the Polish Institute, told TOI that in many ways, Lech Walesa is similar to Mahatma Gandhi. They have both led their nations to liberty peacefully and both were nominated to Nobel Peace Prize. Walesa was eventually awarded in 1983.

Gandhi's non-violence movement and Walesa's peaceful overthrowing of the government represent the same idea. People of India were aware of it at the time," says Ms. Tryc-Bromley. I was told that in 1980s there were piquets organized in Delhi to express Indians' support to Solidarity's strikes," she adds.

Andrzej Wajda's new movie will be screened twice in PVR theatres during the Kinoteka Polish Film Festival; on November 28 at Mumbai's Dynamix Mall and on December 3 at Select City Walk mall in Delhi. The movie was also screened yesterday during 44th International Film Festival of India at Panaji in Goa.

During the ongoing film festival Indian audiences can also watch some other fine pieces of Polish cinematography which include a wide range of classics from the Polish Film School and contemporary movies. Krzysztof Zanussi's landmark film 'Illumination' (1972), modern documentary of Polish refugee children in India during the Second World War, anti-totalitarian satire 'Escape from Liberty Cinema' (1990) directed by Wojciech Marczewski, Andrzej Wajda's 'Promised Land' (1974) and contemporary 'My Father's Bike' (2012) directed by Piotr Trzaskalski are some of the movies of the screening schedule.

The Kinoteka Polish Film Festival, which has been organized in London for 11 years, has been brought to India for the first time this year. The inaugural edition of this feature is co-organized by the Polish Institute and India Habitat Centre Film Club. "Indians are becoming increasingly interested in European cinema. We are willing to show even more Polish contemporary movies soon," Anna Tryc-Bromley says. The festival will last till December 3.
