Organizational info:
We are going to meet in one of 2 places please check ideally during the day of the meeting if the location of the event didn't change. The fastest way to communicate is our whatsapp.
FOR 10 years we only cancel 2 meetings. So if you went somewhere and there is no meeting, there is 99 % chance you are in wrong place. 😉
1. Cafe literacka - located in the bookstore, ask bar attender where the movie room is located. They have great cakes, made on the spor but one of the most creative pastry maker in Kraków - Łukasz. My personal favourite is pistachio & raspberry tarte. Many of their cakes are also vegan you can find the also hummus, salads, ok beer and sinfully cheap table wine.
2. Poli - amazing variation of the cheapest craft beer in Kraków, but also many amazing cocktails. They are famous for they negroni! 😉 You can also get there burgers, fries, and sandwitches.
Event is FREE of charge, BUT... those places gave us space for free hoping that we will order something at the bar. So it is polite to order, but nobody force you to do so. Nevertheless PLEASE don't eat your own food and don't drink your own drinks there. That is a matter of RESPECT the place. And we may be kicked out from next screening there after such actions.

Hi there, my name is Paweł,
I'm a local city, cultural and food tour guide in Kraków since 2007. Initially my knowledge about Polish films was average. But then when I realized how usefull movies are as educational tool to talk about Poland I decided to change it.
I started to focus on the most important movies about Polish history. Then one day in November 2014 I decided to share it not only during his work as a proffesional tour guide, but also to Couchsurfing community and all culturally hungry people.
Since that day in 2014 I joined academy of Polish films academy, attended as many lectures as possible. Constantly read about Polish cinema and developed my true passion. At one point Idid even screen several Polish low-budget productions inviting people who were involved in production. But it was difficult to find movies like that regularly. If you would like to screen yours movie or movie of your friend, let me know!
When after almost 90 years Poland finally got first Oscar, (We have only one small category - international film) I organized screening of "Ida" in cinema twice. In my opinion English subtitles well very much cenzored which ... is the key reason why this movie get oscar. Nevertheless my first impression about the event was terrible. 60 people in the hall, for many of them it was the first Polish film they will ever see, at least half of them eating chips making huge noice with their plastic packages, one person even open yoghurt, take the spoon and start to eat regular supper... I though that that will be huge failer, those people probably expect an easy entertainment, American style shallow action or comedy film, but... At the end of the screening there was about 2 minutes of total silence... and then huge applause after.
I think that something very important happened that night and those stronge emotions related to it made this project very valuable!
For those almost 10 years we created a group of friends, a family of movie buffs. We do not often share the same movie interests... but we are curious and hungry for more! Furthermore we love to discuss and argue about the movies. So that is the origin of a joke about us: If three of us will end up on an unhibited island, how many movies we would take with us?
4!
One of them I want to screen, 2nd you want to screen, 3rd he wants to screen, and the 4th, that... NONE of us wants to screen! 😉
Those two more people without who this project will never go so far are:
->Andrey, who is watching probably 10 new movies WEEKLY! Who did even some postgraduate movie studies to prepare for our club. Thanks to him we did screen one legendary Polish film which was banned by the communist, therefore never was screen in Polish cinemas. Only some private screening, probably never been screen with English subtitles at all! But he did that! He did subtitles and even went to Warsaw Polish Movie institut to read the original script to know what did the commies cut of from the film. His technical skills and dedication to cinema is the rock on which we build our community!
->Sir William, thanks to him British movies are the 2nd most common that we present! (after Polish), William is famous for joking about me, for his always elegant outfit, sophisticated English language, and last but not least his love to comedies and unique fancy glasses! Btw.: Please remember that William in his adventeruous life had some cinema episode as well. Yes we did screen this film already, I even bought him DVD with it. Ask him, so maybe we will rescreen it one day. 😉
Each movie is followed by mine or my friend introduction. Sometimes we also screen very rare and almost impossible to find online interviews with director or other ppl involved. Off course all materials are with English subtitles. Sometimes screening of the movie is connected with food event, the tour in the museum or around the city if the topic is related, xmas party, bday party, dance party, costume party etc.
Enjoy! PAW (Paweł, Andrey & sir William)
