Kinopolis 2026 - 13 Dec

IFI Kinopolis is the Irish Film Institute's annual celebration of Polish film, running from 10 to 13 December 2026. The programme features award winners, black comedy, documentary, special guests, and a centenary celebration of Andrzej Wajda. The opening screening of The Time That Never Came includes a Q&A with director Julia Rogowska; the film is set in a near future where a medical procedure can halt ageing and explores mortality, vanity, love, and how lives are measured. Guests include director Grzegorz Dębowski for What Belongs to Others, documentarian @marczakmarczak for Closure, and screenwriter @aleksandratsk for Wild, Wild East. The programme also includes Maciej Sobieszczański's Through The Wall, winner of the top award at this year's Polish Film Festival in Gdynia, and Łukasz Ronduda's Tell me What You Feel, the runner-up, which closes the festival. The retrospective includes an IFI Talk on Andrzej Wajda by Dr. Darragh O'Donoghue, archive curator at the Tate, followed by a separate screening of Ashes and Diamonds (1958) with an introduction, and The Promised Land with an introduction by Dr. Conor O'Kelly. Tickets are available to book.
