SCREENING OF CHOREOGRAPHIC FILMS

On June 21, an open-air screening of choreographic films will take place on the interior facade of the Pavilion. The program will feature the feature-length film “Waterdances / Yes Poem” by Maria Zimpel and three short films: “Mysource” by Agnieszka Mastalerz, as well as “YOS – Years of Silence” by Agnieszka Brzezińska and “You Wanted Rivers” by Magdalena Zielińska, both selected from the Mov(i)e Flow lineup.

All of the films presented share a special relationship with nature. They were shot in various locations—from Switzerland, Poland, and Norway to the Moroccan desert—and their common thread is a poetic perspective on the body immersed in its natural environment. In addition to the medium of dance and movement and the presence of Polish performers, the films are also united by a unique sensitivity to the sound and rhythm of the surrounding world.

The screenings will be held in a format adapted to the needs of participants regarding comfort, accessibility, neurodiversity, and sensory sensitivity. During the screenings, you are free to change your position—sit, lie down, or stand up—and may leave and rejoin the screening at any time. The screenings will be accompanied by soft, ambient lighting, and the sounds made by the audience as well as their movement during the screening will be fully accepted.
Duration: 90 min
