The New is Ahead! In a women's lense
The monthly series "Idzie nowe!" - "The New is Ahead!" is hosting a second short movies showcase in Kino Elektronik.
After the first showcase, in which we commemorated the anniversary of Russia's aggression on Ukraine, and which attracted a wonderful audience, we invite you once again to Kino Elektronik to watch short films. In the monthly series "Idzie nowe" we showcase fabulous student (and not only!) short movies, because we believe firlmy that they belong on the big screen!
This month, because March is a month of women in Poland, we invite you to watch four Warsaw Film School movies made by women and about women.
The showcase titled „W ujęciu kobiet” - "In a Women's Lense" and the Q&A with the directors will take place on March 20th at 18:00 in Kino Elektronik (ul. Generała Zajączka 7).
THE MOVIES WILL BE SHOWN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES, AND THE Q&A WILL BE HELD IN POLISH.
