MICHIGAN PREMIERE. In 1948, Polish artist WLADYSLAW STRZEMINSKI, co-founder and lecturer at the Lódz State Art School (later renamed the Strzeminski Academy of Art Lódz), begins his work as a champion for modern art. Amid a surge of Stalinism, Strzeminski’s students and daughter watch as the Polish government puts his art and livelihood in danger. The final work from legendary filmmaker ANDRZEJ WAJDA, Afterimage is a defiant look at artistic freedom, an autumnal portrait of artist and theorist, and a recognition of service, from one Polish master to another.
