I Dreamed the Future is a documentary essay about the period during which Andrzej Wajda went from being merely an observer of history to becoming one of its protagonists. The film covers the years 1976–2000 – from Man of Marble, through Man of Iron and the birth of Solidarity, the experience of martial law and Wajda’s involvement in public life, right up to his election to the Senate and receiving an Honorary Academy Award. The narrative is based on Wajda’s personal notes, as read by Agnieszka Holland. Through the director’s archival footage and words, we discover not only the artist and the citizen, but also a man full of doubts, grappling with the responsibility for his choices and the price of public engagement.
