Pan Twardowski (1921)
Pan Twardowski is a 1921 Polish silent fantasy film directed by Wiktor Bieganski and starring Bronislaw Oranowski, Wanda Jarszewska and Antoni Nowara-Piekarski. Bieganski was hired by the Polish government to make the film in an effort to foster a greater sense of Polish national identity - particularly in the ethnically mixed Upper Silesia. It is one of many films based on the legend of Pan Twardowski.
