Andrzej Wajda

Dear friends from afar, yet so near for us Batumi.

It is terribly sad that I cannot be with you this evening, as my film Katyń will be shown, as it is also a part of my life.

My father, captain Jakub Wajda is among Polish officers murdered by NKWD in Kharkov and has been buried there.

Katyń is not only a terrible crime on prisoners of war, but also a very consequent lie which attributed this act to Germans.

I am happy that I have lived through times in which this film could be shown in an independent Georgia.

Unfortunately now I have to dedicate my whole time to a new film Tatarak, which is based on a story written by Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz. This will be my third adaptation, the first two being Wood Birch and The Young Ladies from Wilko.

Dear friends, I hope you will recognize this as an explanation of my absence.

Yours
Warsaw 13.10.08
