Hourglass Sanatorium [full]

End your Sunday evening with a gem of Polish cinema, based on several short stories by Polish-Jewish writer Bruno Schulz. Join us at de Uitjijk for a screening of 1973 film Hourglass Sanatorium.

Through a disillusioned, fairytale-like lens, director Wojciech Has offers a unique reflection on the collective trauma of the Holocaust in Poland. Upon its release, the film was banned by the communist government but was smuggled across borders and went on to win the Jury Prize at Cannes.

This masterpiece is an unforgettable trip through a dreamlike world where the boundaries between fact and fiction, past and future, dream and reality blur. A Polish fairytale filled with surrealist elements, vivid symbolism, and extraordinary cinematography by Witold Sobocinski.

The people at de Uitkijk have kindly offered a limited amount of free tickets for Subbacultcha members. Spots are now full.
