Audiences in small towns and villages in the East will be able to see classic masterpieces such as "The Musicians" by Kazimierz Karabasz, tales for children such as "Bolek i Lolek" and contemporary documents - including Malgorzata Szumowska's "Silence". Those films have something in common - they are devoid of dialogue, and speak to the audience only in the language of cinema. As a result, they will be understood in any country which the cinema tour visits.
The screenings will be accompanied by workshops aimed to raise awareness of intercultural dialogue and the mobilization of local communities. "Half a year ago, thanks to the organization of the Watch Docs festival in Rangoon, we realized how important a role culture plays in raising awareness of citizens and consumer culture. - says Maciej Kuziemski. - Especially in countries in transition - torn between censorship and oppression and savage capitalism". Therefore, the creators of the travelling cinema will encourage its viewers to initiate cultural activities and instruct them on how they can create a foundation or NGO.
