On March 10, Prof. George Gasyna traveled to the Gene Siskel Film Center of the Art Institute of Chicago to give a presentation and lead a Q & A session about the 1958 classic film Ashes and Diamonds (Popiół i diament, Dir. Andrzej Wajda). The film screening was part of the Chicago European Union Film Festival: Focus on Poland, which was generously co-sponsored by UIUC’s European Union Center. The Festival runs through March 20, 2025, and features 20 Polish films, including a dozen premieres as well as a number of classics of the Polish cinema.
