Kanał (1957)
Andrzej Wajda's Kanał (1957), the first film about the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, follows exhausted Home Army platoons in late September as they try to escape the defeated city through its sewers, built on a studio back lot in Łódź. Teresa Iżewska, Tadeusz Janczar and Wieńczysław Gliński star, shot in high contrast by Jerzy Lipman. The middle film of Wajda's wartime trilogy screens in the Archive's own 35mm print.
