"Afterimage" was a hit at the 2017 Chicago International Film Festival. Directed by Andrzej Wajda, it is the great Polish director's final film; he died suddenly October 9, 2016, at the age of 90. Set in post-World War II communist Poland, "Afterimage" recreates the atmosphere of Wajdoa's early acclaimed films such as "Ashes and Diamonds" and "Kanal." Based on the life of world renowned artist Wladyslaw Strzeminski, the film shows how his life and career were destroyed by the Stalinist government.
