Bestia, also known as The Polish Dancer, stands apart in this segment as it was released one year before the regaining of independence. This was a huge accomplishment considering it was hard to get anything made at the time. The silent film stars Pola Negri as a young cabaret dancer who falls in love with a married man.

Screening to be accompanied by a piano recital featuring Artur Haftman, and introduced by Pamela Hutchinson.

After the screening stick around for a 1920s style party to celebrate silent film siren Pola Negri. For one night only Ognisko Polskie will be transforming their ballroom into a period-themed salon to host an after-party with special cocktails designed by Ognisko Restaurant, a DJ & dancing to an exclusive tailored playlist courtesy of DiscMuseum.
