Romanian Film Festival 2025 – “Between Shadow and Light”
2025-11-15 - 2025-11-16 | Landmark Center – F.K. Weyerhaeuser Auditorium, 75 Fifth Street West, St. Paul, MN, 55102, United States
This evocative film series explores the tension between darkness and illumination—both literal and metaphorical—within Romanian cinema. Between Shadow and Light invites audiences to experience stories that navigate the blurred lines between truth and illusion, memory and myth, oppression and resilience. Through carefully selected films, the festival showcases Romania’s cinematic mastery in portraying the human condition with stark realism, poetic nuance, and haunting beauty. From rural landscapes steeped in folklore to urban dramas shaped by post-communist realities, each screening offers a window into the soul of a nation grappling with its past and redefining its future.
The theme reflects the duality present in Romanian storytelling: the shadow of history, censorship, and trauma contrasted with the light of creativity, resistance, and cultural rebirth. Whether through minimalist dialogue, long takes, or symbolic imagery, these films challenge viewers to confront uncomfortable truths while celebrating the enduring spirit of Romanian artistry. Between Shadow and Light is not just a festival—it’s a cinematic meditation on identity, transformation, and the power of storytelling to illuminate even the darkest corners.
As our primary visual organ, the eye symbolizes knowledge and openness to new dimensions. It represents clarity, observation, awareness, consciousness, vigilance, and intuition—qualities that guide us beyond surface perception into deeper understanding. The guarding eye serves as our guide, protector, and judge, watching over us. It leads us toward the light, illuminating truth and revealing the unseen. In its gaze lies the power to awaken, to discern, and to transcend.
All movies are in Romanian language with English subtitles.

2026-04-06 17:00 - 21:00 | Yeorg’s Brewing, 378 Maria Ave, St. Paul, MN, 55106, United States
A great chance to socialize over beer and kiełbasa!

An event organized by Break the Bubble (Jon Slick):

“Something a teeny bit different.

There is a Polish holiday the day after Easter (Dyngus Day), which is basically an excuse to have some beer and sausage after behaving all Lent. So far, so good, right?

Yoerg’s has plenty of beer (some Polish beers, too), delicious food (including Polish sausage), and it’s also a completely fantastic place BTW. I’ve somehow convinced them to host this little experiment. It wouldn’t shock me if maybe more than a few of you want a drink after dealing with family all Easter weekend.
You don’t have to be Polish to attend… no one’s perfect. “

2026-04-12 15:00 - 17:00 | Capp Center, 1375 St. Paul Avenue, St. Paul, MN, 66116, United States
From the Minnesota JCC:
In January 1945, ten-year-old Holocaust survivor Marcel Zielinski made a treacherous 60-mile journey on foot from Auschwitz-Birkenau to Kraków in search of his family. Decades later, 250 cyclists from 12 countries retraced his path in an empathetic mission called Ride for the Living, created and run by JCC Krakow.
This documentary draws parallels between Marcel’s harrowing experience and the cyclists’ journey, sparking an urgent conversation about the ongoing struggle between dehumanization and empathy.
Co-Director Tim Roper and Producer Lisa Effress will be in attendance to introduce the film and participate in a Q&A following the screening.

Locating Records from Poland Online
2026-05-01 14:30 - 16:30 | Zoom
Topic: Locating Records from Poland Online
Finding records from Poland for genealogical research is a critical step in exploring our Polish ancestry but Poland’s complex history and the language barrier can be confusing. After a brief overview of Poland’s changing borders and their impact on the languages in which historical records were created, Julie will explain the process of identifying one’s ancestral village and illustrate the use of gazetteers to determine the parish and civil registry offices. She will introduce key websites for locating historical records online and offline, with an emphasis on sites that offer indexed records and digital images. Julie will suggest strategies to help you get around the language barrier, and demonstrate how you can trace your Polish ancestry from the comfort of your own home.

Concert in Honor of Polish Constitution Day
2026-05-02 19:00 - 21:00 | Church of the Holy Cross, 1621 University Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN, 55413, United States
On Saturday, May 2, 2026, at 7:00 PM, Holy Cross Catholic Church will host a concert in honor of Polish Constitution Day, presented on the eve of Poland’s historic national holiday commemorating the Constitution of May 3, 1791.
The Holy Cross Choir and a chamber orchestra will perform a vibrant program of Polish sacred choral music spanning more than four centuries, from the splendor of the early Baroque to the powerful spiritual language of modern Poland. Many of these remarkable works are rarely performed in the United States, making this a unique opportunity to experience the richness of Poland’s sacred musical tradition.
Holy Cross Director of Sacred Music Samuel Backman writes:
“During my years at Holy Cross, I’ve grown more and more fascinated by the rich cultural traditions of Poland—especially its sacred music. After a great deal of research and many hours preparing and performing editions from the original sources, I’m thrilled to bring these beautiful and often overlooked treasures of Poland’s musical heritage to a twenty-first-century American and Polish-American audience.”
The program will feature music by distinguished Polish composers, including Szarzyński, Gorczycki, Mielczewski, Jarzębski, Surzyński, Klonowski, Dankowski, and Górecki, highlighting the depth and beauty of Poland’s sacred choral tradition. A special highlight of the evening will be Wojciech Dankowski’s beloved Mass in E Minor, cherished in Poland for its noble simplicity and devotional character.
Admission is free, and all are warmly welcome. Whether you come to celebrate Polish culture, rediscover the music of your heritage, or simply enjoy a beautiful evening of choral and orchestral music, we would be honored to have you with us.
