kinopolis

What is KINOPOLIS?....KINOPOLIS, the Polish Film Festival in Dublin, is an annual film festival presenting Polish cinematography to thousands of cinema lovers in Ireland.

Where is it happening?...What can you see?...Embracing the Irish Film Institute and Cineworld Cinema KINOPOLIS will showcase over 15 titles consisting of the thematic blocks: ‘Polish Animation Attack’ and ‘Masterpieces of Polish Cinematography’, including Krzysztof Kieslowski's Camera Buff (1979) and A Short Film About Killing (1988).

What is special this year?...This year the Festival will enter a new cinematic dimension with two Polish 3D productions: The Battle of Warsaw, the first 3D (and most expensive) Polish production, portraying the background of a great battle against the Bolsheviks, which changed the history of Europe; and The Flying Machine, a story of two children that discover an old piano turned into a flying machine, which takes them on a long trip. Something for the whole family!

Yeah the animation looks pretty interesting - and I'm definitely gonna check out some Kieślowski on the big screen for sure.

Animations should be really good!
There will be meeting with Tomasz Bagiński in Film Base Filmbase (Curved Street) on Sunday, November 6 at 2 pm.
The entry is free of charge! Baginski will talk about his workand experienceas a self-taught artist. The event is supported by Pegbar and ISA/BCFE. The talk will be followed by the animation block in the IFI Cinema, which will embrace The Kinematograph, The Cathedral and the Animated History of Poland.

And Kieslowksi...We don't think his work needs introduction of any kind. Just come and see some of his amazing work!

If you have a cineworld card will that cover your entry to kinopolis films in cineworld or do you have to pay extra?

Renn

As far as I know the Cineworld card does not apply to this festival.
