Decalogue Festival.

Decalogue Festival.

Dammit, I'm late, as usual :( The first show is today evening, 7 pm.

Kieslowski's mammoth Decalogue, co-written with Piesiewicz, is made for Polish television based on the Ten Commandments. Each film is set in a contemporary apartment complex in Warsaw and is one hour long. Kieslowski tackled the project after feeling "tension, a feeling of hopelessness, and a fear of worse yet to come - everywhere, everything, practically everybody's life." The series was shown in its entirety as the centerpiece of the 1989 Venice Film Festival and is considered a masterpiece of modern cinema.

At Centre for Film and Drama, 5th Floor, Sona Towers, Miller Road, Bangalore.
