Léon: The Professional – the Main Theme of the 23rd BellaTOFIFEST International Film Festival!
An antihero with a sensitive heart and an iconic figure of 1990s cinema. Some critics claim that when Luc Besson created this character, he knew from the start he was crafting a cult classic. This year with great joy we fulfill the dreams of film lovers and proudly announce “Léon: The Professional” as the main theme of the 23rd BellaTOFIFEST International Film Festival! More »

Katyń
Katyń · dir. Andrzej Wajda
Poland 2007, 118’
Trailer
The film follows the story of four Polish families whose lives are torn apart when, at the outset of WWII, a great number of Polish soldiers (who are also fathers, husbands, sons and brothers) fall into the hands of Soviet troops and later brutally become victims of Stalinism, murdered and buried in Katyń's woods in 1940. Andrzej Wajda presents a multi-faceted scenario of great sorrow, but never mawkish. This is the work of an old master, a complex canvass directed with a sure hand, a movie which describes and explains the tragedy of Katyń.
