<B>Kanal (P.P. Film, 1957).</B></I> Polish (64" X 23"). "Kanal" was the second feature film directed by Academy Award and Cannes Film Festival winner Andrzej Wajda. It is the second part of Wajda's acclaimed "war trilogy," which also includes "A Generation" and "Ashes and Diamonds." During the Warsaw Uprising, the sewers were used to communicate between disparate regions held by the Poles. "Kanal" means sewer in Polish. This film portrays the challenges faced by the Polish underground when trying to escape areas held by the Germans. The feature was the first film made about the uprising, earning Wajda the Special Jury Prize (the second most prestigious after the Palme d'Or) at Cannes in 1957 and solidifying his position as Poland's premier director. This two-piece, country-of-origin poster is in magnificent condition. Very Fine+. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Rolled (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
