Bartosz M. Kowalski - Let's Talk Film - October

A series of talks with the most prominent representatives of Polish and international cinema. They revolve around the condition of contemporary cinema, the possibilities of its development, and its hazards. Cinema as a (re)creation of reality, as an element of everyday life, as an educational tool, a spiritual need, a constant element of professional activity, as pure entertainment? The guest’s creative output, their passions and achievements serve as a reference point. Apart from talking with the filmmaker we also watch their films.
