Polish Film Festival, Los Angeles. Opening Night
Team television 101 would like to congratulate Vladek Juszkiewicz and colleagues on the successful opening of the 11th Annual Polish Film Festival, Los Angeles last night. The opening night gala though only one week after the tragic death of President Lech Kaczynski and 94 other Polish Citizens, and the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland, was a heartfelt and much needed celebration of Polish Cinema. Our own Jeff Orsa was a juror for the Hollywood Eagle Award for best documentary. Team television 101 would like to especially thank Vladek Juszkiewicz, Michael Conley, and Marius Kotowski for your support. http://www.polishfilmla.org/
