PSA and the Department of Polish Studies invite you to an 80’s fantasy film – Polish style: “GA, GA. CHWAŁA BOHATEROM” or loosely translated as “Ga, ga. Glory to the Heroes”.

* ENGLISH SUBTITLES*

The action takes place in the 21st century on two planets – Earth, and Australia-458. On Earth, brutality and violence prevail. Australia is inhabited by people too polite, even servile. People on earth are so rich and happy that no one wants to choose the difficult and hazardous occupation of astronaut. They thus begin to send prisoners into space.

Skating and Pubnight

WHERE: Nathan Phillips Square: 100 Queen Street West

WHEN:February 9th, 2011 from 7:30pm-2am
