Sydney Film School Festival is around the corner with more exciting highlights to reveal. Two days and nights of student film screenings are now being backed up with a super special treat for cinema lowers. Come to the Chauvel Cinema on Tuesday 13th of July at 7pm and see the early works of two of Poland’s most famous film directors, Roman Polanski and Krzysztof Kieslowski.

As part of its regular ‘International Perspectives’ program, which presents short films produced by another internationally based film school, the upcoming SFS Festival will screen two shorts produced by the prestigious Polish Lodz Film School and directed by its now-famous students Roman Polanski and Krzysztof Kieslowski.

Both films - Polanski’s “Two Men with a Wardrobe” and Kieslowski’s “The Office” were made when they were 25 years old and are some of their earliest works.

Made in 1958 “Two Men with a Wardrobe” was Polanski’s second student film and the first Roman Polanski film to be screened publicly. It proved to be one of his most famous. “The Office” was Kieslowski's second film, and the first one that turned him to the documentary format.

Both short films will be screened as a special feature of the Sydney Film School Graduation Night, on Tuesday 13th of July at 7pm and will be introduced by the Acting Consul General of Poland, Ms. Ewa Krajewska.

Event is free and open to the general public.
