Yesterday, the opening of the event that we recently mentioned in our social media took place at Kino Kultura, which is the Film Screenings of Andrzej Fidyk on the occasion of the 70th birthday of the outstanding Polish documentary filmmaker and lecturer of the Kieślowski Film School in Katowice.

During the first day, the guests had the opportunity to listen to the inaugural conversation between Professor Andrzej Fidyk and Ms. Grażyna Torbicka, then participate in the screenings of two films, i.e. "Defilada" (1989) and "The President" (1985) and exchange a few words with the author of these films himself.

For those who did not participate in yesterday's meeting - we have good news, the event lasts two more days, today and tomorrow - respectively 13.04 and 14.04 at 19:00. Admission to the event is free, tickets are available at the box office of the Kino Kultura in Warsaw.

Each day, the screening of films will be preceded by a half-hour conversation, as it was during the inauguration, while the films will change - on April 13, you can watch the following films: "Kiniarze z Kalkuty" (1998) and "Dance of the Reeds" (2000), in turn the film will be shown on Friday "Stories from Yodok" (2008).

Congratulations on such a rich film output, it undoubtedly constitutes a solid foundation of Polish documentary filmmaking and is an inspiration, a clear signpost for other, novice creators of the cinema of facts.

Well done Professor! The event is organized by the Polish Filmmakers Association.
