Olga Chajdas at The Pyramid at Anderston event tickets from TicketSource Borscht Film Club is opening March with a film that pulses with raw energy, tenderness, and rebellion — IMAGO, the acclaimed feature by Olga Chajdas. Following its world premiere in the PROXIMA competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, where it received an enthusiastic response from audiences and critics alike, the film went on to screen in the main competition at the mBank New Horizons Festival, dedicated to bold, boundary‑pushing cinema. IMAGO also received recognition at the Gdynia Polish Film Festival, where it was praised for its artistic courage, emotional depth, and powerful performances — continuing the strong festival legacy of Chajdas’ debut Nina, which won multiple awards in Gdynia. Set on the Polish coast in the late 1980s — in the very place where the Solidarity movement was born — IMAGO dives into the post‑punk counterculture of the Tricity: a world of artistic ferment, underground music, and a generation searching for freedom as the old system collapses. At its centre is Ela — magnetic, unpredictable, painfully human. A young woman who refuses to fit into any mould, drifting between art, desire, chaos, and the expectations imposed on her. Lena Góra — who also co‑wrote the script — delivers a remarkable performance inspired by the life of her own mother, a singer of the legendary Tricity alternative scene. Critics praised the film’s emotional intensity, its “grainy intimacy”, and its hypnotic soundtrack by Andrzej Smolik, one of Poland’s most influential composers and multi‑instrumentalists, known for his work with Hey, Myslovitz, Maria Peszek and many more. IMAGO is a story about otherness, motherhood, rebellion, and the complicated love between a mother and a daughter. It’s also a portrait of a moment in history when everything was breaking apart — and something new was beginning. This screening is part of the Polish Adventurers Club in Glasgow, which invites you to its fourth edition — this time celebrating International Women’s Day. 18:30 — IMAGO screening + live online Q&A with director Olga Chajdas Pyramid at Anderston 7 March, 18:30 PWYC (Pay What You Can) Film 18+
