Sounds of music<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor screenings of the “Sounds of Music” section is a permanent element of the festival, which attracts viewers thirsty for good music, outstanding cinema and beautiful natural circumstances every year. From Monday to Friday, under the starry sky, with a view of the Wawel Castle, the audience will have a chance to watch musical documentaries, presented in the past at DocFilmMusic competition and recognized by the viewers and jurors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinema on the Wawel Hill will open on Monday the movie “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck”<\/strong>, the first family-authorized documentary about the leader Nirvana, who lived too fast and died too young. The creators of the film found the souvenirs of Cobain, trying to face his legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another film “Redemption Song”<\/strong>, planned for Tuesday evening, is the history of a prison in the capital of Jamaica, in which the program of resocialization through music was implemented. Here, the criminals of various caliber are becoming creators, contractors and reggae producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, the audience will have the opportunity to see a portrait of the restless artist Shahin Najafi, who has to hide and often change his appearance, but still does not stop playing. The Ayatollahs have issued a fatwa for insulting Islam for the hero of the movie “When God Sleeps”<\/strong>, which is why his life is in constant danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday is the day of screening for last year’s winner of the Golden Hejnah “Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda”<\/strong>. The film about the author of music for Bertolucci’s films, and more recently to “The Revenant”<\/strong>, is a portrait of not only a musical experimenter, but also a man struggling with a serious illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Maksymiuk. Concert For Two “<\/strong>, which will close the cycle “Sounds of Music”<\/strong> on Friday evening, is a film portrait of the conductor, pianist and<\/g> composer Jerzy Maksymiuk and his wife Ewa – always supporting and inspiring  his<\/g> work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partner of the “Sounds of Music”<\/strong> section is PGE Energia Ciep\u0142a, and the media partner of Radio Krak\u00f3w. Admission to the shows is free.
