More Than Cinema

Today the Centre for Culture in Lublin invites you to the second edition of the series "At the New Cinema" ("W Nowym Kinie"). The series is a unique combination of improvised theatre and independent cinema. At its climax, the film is stopped and the plot is given into the hands of actors from the impro theatre company "Poławiacze Pereł. "

On Monday evening the Central Playground Cinema will show Gus van Sant’s film ”Paranoid Park.” The film is an adaptation of the same title novel by Blake Nelson. The director conveys Nelson’s narration in a perfect manner by splitting images and particular elements of the plot. Gradually revealed, these elements make the audience an active participant of the events portrayed in the film.
