Invitation to Jerzy Skolimowski

The unclassifiable Polish filmmaker, a great moralist, will present the restored print of Barrier, a 1966 fable about a rebellious youth, typical of the "new waves" of Eastern Europe, and his delectable animalistic apologue, EO, which won a prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
