Everything for Sale

Wszystko na sprzedaż

This homage to Wajda’s beloved actor, Zbigniew Cybulski, is a blistering view of the film industry and recalls Fellini’s 8½.

When a leading actor disappears from a film set, his family and crew search for him before tragic news reaches them. Wajda’s homage to his beloved actor Zbigniew Cybulski, the star of Ashes and Diamonds, is also a scathing portrait of the film industry. Weaving together autobiography and fiction, Wajda questions what it means to be an artist, and how we mourn, create legends and remember the past.

Contains themes of suicide.

Restored by Orka and The Chimney Pot.

+ Warsaw (from Love at Twenty)

Warszawa (from Miłość dwudziestolatków)

Poland 1962. Director Andrzej Wajda. 25min. Digital. With English subtitles

Wajda’s last collaboration with Zbigniew Cybulski grapples with intergenerational misalignment.

Please note that the short film Warsaw, screening before the feature Everything for Sale, will be screening from a digital scan of the 35mm print held at Filmoteka Narodowa - Instytut Audiowizualny, not a restoration as noted in the printed guide. We hope you can enjoy these screenings of an otherwise rare film and apologise for any disappointment.
