Community Connections: A Newscenter series highlighting the ties between the University and its communities.Now in its 20th year, the Polish Film Festival is a fixture in Rochester, thanks, in part, to the area’s active Polish-American community. For most of the last two decades, the job of choosing which films to feature has belonged to Bozenna Sobolewska, the administrative assistant of the Skalny Center for Polish and Central European Studies.

Sobolewska spoke with Quadcast Host Peter Iglinski about the success of the festival, the state of Polish film, and the art of putting together the festival.
