Agnieszka Holland, the great Polish director whose films include Europa Europa, Angry Harvest, and The Secret Garden, will introduce and discuss her powerful new film In Darkness.

Poland’s entry for the 2012 Oscars, Holland’s latest continues her exploration into Eastern Europe’s contemporary history, and the ways that war and brutality expose profound human contradictions.
