An invitation to a great movie "Fatherland" by Pawel Pawlikowski, a Polish filmmaker who received this year's Best Director award for this work at the Cannes Film Festival.
Mr. Pawlikowski previously gained international acclaim for his films "Ida," which won an Academy Award in 2013, and "Cold War," which earned him the Best Director prize at Cannes in 2018 and an Oscar nomination.

"Fatherland" is a drama that provides a compelling depiction of Germany in the aftermath of the Second World War through the perspectives of the movie main characters, a renowned writer Thomas Mann and his daughter, Erica, following their return to the country in 1949.
🇳🇿While the film is scheduled for a general release in New Zealand this November, it will be screened as part of the German Film Festival at the Victoria Theatre & Cinema in Devonport, Auckland, on Saturday, October 24, at 8:15 p.m. for the price of $8.

The special screening of “Fatherland” held in August, organized by the German and Polish Embassies alongside Goethe Institute New Zealand, and the International Film Festival 2026FF in Wellington, proved highly successful, with the 700-seat Embassy Theatre reaching full capacity almost immediately.

Please find the details provided below and in attachments.

Dear friends, attendees, helpers, and volunteers,
On behalf of APA, I want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who made this Spring Polish Market such a wonderful success.

To our attendees: thank you for bringing your energy, smiles, and appetite! Seeing our community and neighbours come together to celebrate Polish culture, food, and traditions is exactly why we host these events. Your support means the world to us.
To our incredible volunteers and helpers: this event quite literally could not have happened without you. From setting up the bar, kitchen and the hall, preparing delicious food to managing the crowds and cleaning up afterward, your hard work behind the scenes was extraordinary. Thank you for donating your valuable time, stamina, and positive spirits to ensure everything ran smoothly.

To our stall holders, your incredible stalls - filled with delicious food, beautiful crafts, and fantastic products - were the heartbeat of the event. The passion and effort you put into your displays and offerings truly brought the spirit of Polish culture to life and created an unforgettable experience for all our visitors.
We appreciate the long hours and hard work you invested in preparing for and running your stalls. It was a pleasure working with you, and we hope the event was as successful and rewarding for your business as it was for our community.
We would love to welcome you back for future events and look forward to collaborating again soon.

We are incredibly proud of what we accomplished together, and we look forward to seeing you all again at our next event!

With warm regards and appreciation,
APA committee

W imieniu APA pragnę wyrazić naszą najgłębszą wdzięczność wszystkim, którzy sprawili, że ten wiosenny Polski jarmark okazał się tak wielkim sukcesem.
Naszym uczestnikom: dziękujemy za energię, uśmiechy i apetyt! Widok naszej społeczności i sąsiadóww Domu Polskim, by świętować polską kulturę, jedzenie i tradycje, to dokładnie powód, dla którego organizujemy te wydarzenia. Wasze wsparcie wiele dla nas znaczy.
Naszym niesamowitym wolontariuszom i pomocnikom: to wydarzenie dosłownie nie mogłoby się odbyć bez Was. Od ustawiania baru, kuchni i sali, przygotowywania pysznego jedzenia po zarządzanie tłumem i sprzątanie po wszystkim – Wasza ciężka praca za kulisami była niezwykła. Dziękujemy za poświęcenie swojego cennego czasu, i pozytywnego ducha, aby wszystko przebiegało sprawnie.
Naszym wystawcom, Wasze stoiska - pełne pysznego jedzenia, pięknych rękodzieł i fantastycznych produktów - były sercem tego wydarzenia.
Pasja i wysiłek, jaki włożyliście w swoje stoiska i prezentacje, naprawdę ożywiły ducha polskiej kultury i stworzyły niezapomniane doświadczenie dla wszystkich naszych gości.
Doceniamy długie godziny pracy i trud włożony w przygotowanie i prowadzenie swoich stoisk. Praca z Wami jest prawdziwą przyjemnością i mamy nadzieję, że wydarzenie było tak samo udane i satysfakcjonujące dla Waszego biznesu, jak dla naszej społeczności.
Czekamy na kolejną współpracę.

Jesteśmy dumni z tego, co wspólnie osiągnęliśmy, i nie możemy się doczekać, aby zobaczyć Was wszystkich ponownie na naszym następnym wydarzeniu!
