Daas is a 2011 Polish film written and directed by Adrian Panek and starring Andrzej Chyra, Danuta Stenka, Mariusz Bonaszewski and Olgierd Łukaszewicz. This is Panek's first feature work.

Film is a period drama that depicts timeless struggle between religion and secular authority, idealism and duplicity, eroticism and faith. Daas explores the influence of 18th-century messiah claimant Jacob Frank (an authentic figure played by Olgierd Łukaszewicz). Claiming powers of mystical healing and prophecy, Frank promises immortality to his converts. Henryk Klein, a Viennese lawyer (Mariusz Bonaszewski) investigates Frank, and starts to believe that there has been a conspiracy formed that involves some of the most influential people in the Austrian Empire. Meanwhile, a minor nobleman Jakub Goliński (Andrzej Chyra), Frank’s long-time disciple who left his sect is seeking justice. Once a devoted believer, he now takes action against his former guru. The fates of these men inevitably interweave…

Daas was filmed in the Polish city of Wroclaw.
