Post Three- Warsaw Film Festival

So, I thought I would dedicate a whole post to the Warsaw Film Festival.  This year was the 27th Annual and it lasted from October 7th-16th.  Each year they have it around the 2nd Week in October because that is when many of the 200,000 thousand University Students come back to school, but not all have started class.  The Festival attracts Film Producers and Directors from all over the world.  Below our some pictures.  Then I will share more.

The Kinoteka is in the Palace of Science and Culture that the Russians built.

The other theater that participates in the Festival is the Multikino at Zlote Tearsay.  Here are some links to videos I made about the festival:

There are many other movie theaters in Warsaw.  Movie advertisements are all over the place as well.  Films are important to the people of the city and are a way of starting conversations with locals.  My favorite film I saw at the Film Festival was the 100 Voices Film that I mentioned in the video clips.  It is a film produced and directored by two guys from Hollywood and most of the Film was in Poland (Warsaw, Krakow, and Auschwitz). If you want to know more about the movie here is the website: http://www.100voicesmovie.com/   I actually met the director and the producer after the film and I saw them again the next day at a short film series that we were both attending about a Danish referee and a film about a Bulgarian guy who changed his name to Manchester United because he is such a big fan of the Club.  Next year I might apply to be a volunteer at the Film Festival because I think it would be a great way to meet people I might not otherwise have a chance of meeting.  I talked to a couple of the volunteers and they said it was well worth the experience.
