We are delighted to announce that Tadeusz Chudy, a graduate of the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School at the University of Silesia in Katowice, is presenting his documentary On My Own Terms as part of the project insider on tour – Polish documentaries in art-house cinemas, organized by the Krakow Film Festival and the Krakow Film Foundation.

Put on your boxing gloves and join Paweł! The young man trains in boxing, but a bigger challenge than his next fight in the ring is the attempt to become independent. Soon, he will have to decide whether to stay longer in foster care or leave the center and try life outside its walls. Paweł’s foster sister has inherited an apartment, which encourages her to take a step toward a new life. Will the protagonist join her? It’s hard to grow up when there are no good role models around, and a sports career doesn’t guarantee a stable future. Regardless of what happens in the boy’s life, what matters most is his relationship with the person closest to him.

We warmly invite you to a special art exhibition titled "W Krainie Pomiędzy" by Samanta Stochla.

The vernissage will take place on August 13th from 5:30 PM.

The exhibition presents extraordinary compositions created using the technique of alcohol inks, complemented by other artistic methods. It is a journey into a world of imagination and creativity, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur in a magical way.

The artist has invited children to take part in the exhibition, whose perspective and creativity add a unique character to the presentation.

W Krainie Pomiędzy is a space of limitless creativity and transformation, and the children’s works encourage reflection on one’s own imagination and on transcending limitations. We invite you to explore this extraordinary Land, where imagination knows no bounds and, at the same time, one can take a closer look at the moments “in between”

The exhibition will be open from August 11 to 29, 2025 at the Maria Nogajowa Municipal Public Library in Czeladź.

Branch No. 5 – Mediateka
ul. Dehnelów 43, 41-250 Czeladź
