Films, music and cinema screen at the foot of the Wawel hill – as every year Krakow Film Festival invites everyone for the \u201cSound of music\u201d section presented May 29 – June 1 after dark in the open air cinema. Free of charge.<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cSound of music\u201d is a section that has become an integral part of Krakow Film Festival and is enjoying a continuing popularity among the festival audience. In the previous years the open air cinema was filled with music of The Beatles and exceptional singer-songwriters like Nick Cave or Bob Dylan. This time, together with Piotr Metz, the cinema at the foot of the Wawel Castle hill will present Polish music films from different periods.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “We will present very different film styles and film stars from different generations, but the music that never fades away will connect us all. We will start before the war and show on the screen: Loda Niemirzanka, Danuta Szaflarska and Jerzy Duszy\u0144ski, Magdalena Zawadzka and two bands – Skaldowie and Niebiesko-Czarni, Jan Piechoci\u0144ski and Zbigniew Zamachowski with the Maanam band, and at the end Marcin Kowalczyk, Tomasz Schuchardt and Dawid Ogrodnik portraying the roles of the musicians from the famous band Paktofonika which changed the face of Polish hip-hop” – says Krzysztof Gierat, the Director of the Krakow Film Festival.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Open air cinema programme, <\/b> <\/p>\n 28\/05 MON<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAda, Behave Yourself!\u201d dir.
