One of Poland’s most eminent filmmakers, Agnieszka Holland gained the eyes of cineastes around the world with Europa Europa (1991) and an Oscar nomination for In Darkness (2011). She is still on a roll: Her latest, Spoor, won the Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival. Holland adapted the story from a novel by a Polish author with an international reputation to match her own—Booker Man Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk. Spoor is an eerie tale, penned as if in the genre of a detective novel, about a lonely and eccentric old woman in a remote region who begins to find her neighbors dead. The only suspects are the animals in the woods. Holland is scheduled to the attend the Oct. 22 screening.
Also screened at 12:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 27, Oriental Theatre East.
