{ODJAZD}

Film Club

  • Film Club Odjazd has a unique way of joining two areas: film education acquainting the young viewer with key concepts, titles, trends and figures from the world of film and mobilisation of the audience to participate in creating the substance of the club meetings and discussions, which invoke the tradition of film societies.
  • Odjazd Film Club is:
    • a cinephiles’ treasure hunt and a unique opportunity to meet and talk with outstanding cinema experts, who will present own interpretations of their beloved films;
    • a cycle of 20 meetings consisting of lectures by the experts, film screenings and open discussions. 
    •  
  • The main goals of the club are fostering critical thinking about the cinema and an interest of its history and encouraging the viewers to analyse and interpret cinematographic works independently.
  •  
  • The film club’s programme is divided into three topics: 
    • Longing for freedom
      • This cycle is starred by rebels: warriors fighting against enslavement who often pay the highest price for freedom. There are different types of enslavement and different methods used by the insubordinate protagonists to pave their own paths, as well as diverse ways of filming rebellion.
      •  
    • Strength of character
      • A cycle of films about people who have shown their grit in a moment of trial. A discussion on what strength of character is, how important it may be when fighting for what is most important, and how such struggle is portrayed in films. We will analyse cinematographic images of the opposition between strength and weakness and the dangers of grit when it becomes the source of pride and fall. 
      •  
    • Mirror of relationships
      • Films about complications in human relationships. We will reflect upon the different ways the roles we play be it within our families, among friends, at work or at school are portrayed by the cinema. We will discuss how feelings and relationships with other people can influence our identity and inspire us to redefine our value system.
