I have no intention of attending the Polish Film Festival.Maybe it’s my unresolved anger over Polish complicity in the Holocaust.
Maybe it’s because I don’t associate great cinematic storytelling with Poland anymore than I associate great beach volleyball with Siberia.
Or maybe it’s because of the hundreds of jokes I’ve heard involving Polish schlemiels and schlemazels.
But I would have gone to the Polish Film Festival had the exhibitors paid homage to the reputation of Poles and, in a brave gesture of self-effacement, displayed their advertising banners like this....

See that's the thing. Auschwitz was really brought to you by the Germans. Now they could hang a banner!

That's a banner.
Of course with them attendance wasn't optional.
You're use of web page scrolling is inspired.
So friggen funny that you flipped that polish festival banner upside down, First thing I thought of when I saw it on Wilshire!
ha! I love this one. Maybe it's because I'm 25% polish. Hey, my shirt is on backwards.
I imagine all of the films will have the lens cap on.
