RETROSPECTIVE: MAGGIE SMITH
The first-ever acting retrospective in the history of the British Film Festival!
Dedicated to the incomparable Dame Maggie Smith, known for her sharp wit, ironic gaze and impeccable timing, she brought to life some of the most memorable comic performances in British cinema. At the same time, her passion, innate elegance and perfectionism allowed her to embody deeply moving dramatic roles that touched audiences around the world.
Maggie Smith’s career spans six decades of outstanding performances on stage and screen, forming an essential part of Britain’s cinematic heritage. The retrospective showcases several UK productions less familiar to Polish audiences, including THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE (1969) - the role that earned her a first Academy Award.
