Polish Movies at SIFF

Seattle Polish Film Festival is cooperating with SIFF promoting two Polish/Polish connected films. The first one is “Under the Volcano”, in which a Ukrainian family on vacation in the Canary Islands suddenly find themselves stranded upon Russia’s invasion of their home country, sending them into fits of desperation and introspection as they wander the beaches speculating what comes next.

Screening May 16, 20, 26 at SIFF Cinema Downtown and Shoreline Community College

The other one is “Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass”, in which the Brothers Quay spin another fantastical stop motion yarn with the surreal story inspired by the work of Polish writer Bruno Schulz, about a young man on a ghostly train ride toward a sanitorium that may exist out of time and space.
