From 18, May to the end of December, we invite you to the school cinema every Thursday at 7 p.m. The film "Solaris Mon Amour" by Kuba Mikurda will be the first film from the 75/75 series.
In 1948, a decision was made to establish the Higher Film School in Łódź in Oskar Kon's palace in Targowa Street. 75 years later, the Film School invites the inhabitants of Łódź to celebrate its anniversary together.
The famous stairs inside the former residence of Oskar Kon lead to the Film School cinema hall which be open to filmgoers from 18, May to the end of December, 2023, every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. There, you will be able to see films related to the Lodz Film School and its history.
"We will show 75 films on the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of the School. It will be a programme referring in an unobvious way to the history of the school. Every month a new repertoire, retrospectives and reviews selected in cooperation with the Camera Action Festival, as well as meetings with filmmakers. You will be able to see both 35 mm classics and films that are directly associated with the history of our School and its graduates" - says Krzysztof Brzezowski, head of the Promotion Office of the Lodz Film School.
The programme of the Film School Cinema in the coming weeks includes three different encounters with Polish cinema. The 75/75 series will be inaugurated by a preview of the film "Solaris Mon Amour" and a meeting with Kuba Mikurda, director and lecturer at the Lodz Film School. This extraordinary found footage documentary inspired by Stanisław Lem's “Solaris” consists of fragments of 70 films(!) produced by the Educational Films Studio (WFO) in Łódź in the 1960s as well as the first radio adaptations of “Solaris”. The film was produced by the Lodz Film School, and its producers are Dagna Kidoń, Krzysztof Franek and Krzysztof Pijarski. The film had its world premiere at this year's edition of Millennium Docs Against Gravity on Friday, 12, May. The inhabitants of Łódź will be able to see the film literally 6 days later at the Film School Cinema. Lem begins writing “Solaris” in the same year when Alain Resnais's “Hiroshima, mon amour” hits cinemas, says Kuba Mikurda, and like Resnais's film, “Solaris” is for me a fascinating study in post-traumatic memory – repressed memories that make their way to consciousness and demand to be spoken out loud.
A week later (25, May, 7 p.m.), while the Cannes Film Festival is on, we invite you to a double feature-film screening, i.e. the screening of two films which competed for the Palme d'Or in 1994 - "Three Colours. Red" by Kieślowski lost the competition against today's iconic "Pulp Fiction" by Quentin Tarantino. Seeing these two films on the big screen on the same day is a real treat for filmgoers.
On Children's Day (June 1, 7 p.m.), viewers will see films by the cinematographer Adam Holender: the cult classic film of world cinema from 1969 - "Midnight Cowboy" by John Schlesinger and cinematographer’s student films from the 1960s.
The cinema of the Film School is back on new terms. There is a symbolic fee for tickets - PLN 10 for each night at the cinema. Students (with a valid student ID) and pensioners (with a valid ID) can participate in the screenings free of charge.
The Film School cinema hall is located in the Rectorate building, on the first floor. Screenings are held every Thursday at 7 p.m. with the exception of holidays. Ticket sales starts on 17, May (Wednesday).
