Night filmophile half-marathon – Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art

Today, filmophilia (also known as cinephilia) is clearly different from the source forms and practices related to, above all, the new wave breakthrough and post-war generational change in European cinema. However, despite the repeatedly mentioned visions of the "death of cinema," it is still a living and creative phenomenon. Because it is always worthwhile to think about why we love cinema, even if we often have a problem with answering the question of what it is or what it is to us. The pretext for organizing a night of love for cinema is a recently published book devoted to the theories and practices of Nowa Kinofilia [New Cinephilia], which may, at the same time, lead to taking a second look at the films of creators identifying themselves with the cinephilia environment and to proposing less obvious ways of watching the latest cinema. We invite you for a night of love sighs as well as guilty pleasures that would satisfy any cinephile.

• Discussion about the book Nowa Kinofilia: przestrzenie i afekty [New Cinephilia: spaces and affects, book is only available in Polish] (edited by Karolina Kosińska and Paulina Kwiatkowska, Fundacja MAMMAL, Warsaw 2018) with the participation of invited guests, editors and authors: Małgorzata Sadowska, Bartosz Żurawiecki, Klaudia Rachubińska and Paulina Kwiatkowska. The book will be available before the screening at a promotional price.
