Polish culture is thriving in the UK
"A new wave of Polish culture in the UK is challenging stereotypes" notes author and critic James Hopkin. "Forget the jokes about Polish plumbers ... . Since the country acceded to the EU in 2004, Polish cultural events in the UK have doubled in number each year, with 2008 looking busier than ever. ... The sixth Polish Film Festival, which opens in London on 10 April, will be the biggest yet. ... In June, the Glastonbury Festival will run a special Polish showcase, with four bands playing early on the Saturday evening. And it is rumoured that this August's Edinburgh International Festival has accepted Polish productions - usually banished to the Fringe - for the first time.Yet Pawel Potoroczyn [director of the Polish Cultural Institute]is most excited by Censorship as a Creative Force, a week-long arts season taking place at the Barbican in London from the end of this month."
