While there is a busy atmosphere in theatres due to festival shows, the cinema invites you to screenings with the participation of filmmakers. Guests: Filip Pławiak, Edyta Torhan and Jakub Sierenberg

"Drama Schools’ Festival winners on the big screen" is an event accompanying the Drama Schools’ Festival.

We organize meetings with actors and actresses who once, being last year students, presented their diploma show at the Drama Schools Festival. Now, you can see them on the big screen in their latest films which we will screen in a special programme.

The series serves to promote the art of acting among the audience, both festival and local, and shows the career path of actors and actresses from the theatre to the big screen.

* Admission to the screenings and the meeting is FREE (number of seats is limited) - this event is for the festival audience, local audience, EVERYONE.

* After the screenings, we invite you to meetings with the guests.
