MOCAK Summer Cinema
Published at:05.06.2023
As we traditionally do each summer holidays, MOCAK would again like to invite you to evening film screenings. This year’s edition is devoted to Ukraine. The films will be screened in their original language, with Polish subtitles. More information in Polish >>
The screenings will take place on Fridays from 7 July to 25 August at 9 pm in the Museum arcades.
One of MOCAK’s key tasks is to analyse the meaning of artistic creativity by highlighting its cognitive and ethical values and points of connection with everyday life – and by the same token with what is currently happening in the world. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, all eyes have been on that country. And in recent years Ukrainian cinematography has been experiencing perhaps its most fruitful period since 1991 – both artistically and institutionally. Its fortunes bring together and focus on the most important dilemmas, problems and aspirations of the Ukrainian society in the 20th and 21st centuries. Filmmakers from all over the world have been visiting the country in order to capture the prevailing atmosphere with their cameras, taking a close look at the lives of the inhabitants and assess the impact of geopolitical conditions on the current and future situation of the country. The works presented as part of this year’s MOCAK Summer Cinema provide an overview of various cinematic perspectives on Ukraine, some by those in the country and other viewing it from outside. All these films remind us that cinema too is an expression of the struggle for independence and freedom – artistic, ideological, cultural, financial, political, social and individual.
Admission 10 PLN, tickets available at the Museum box office before the screening and online at the MOCAK Bookstore. Online sales will be launched two weeks before the event and will close on the day of the screening at 12 noon or when the ticket pool is exhausted. Tickets will be sent to the e-mail address indicated once the payment has been credited.
