Musician and video artist Kutiman has created a film portrait of the Jewish Culture Festival Kraków as part of his Thru the City series. Born Ophir Kutiel, Kutiman was named the Artist of the Season by the 2011 Jerusalem Season of Culture for the first video in the series Thru Jerusalem. In June 2012 Kutiman documented the place, the people and the sounds of past and present that make Kraków and the festival so unique. The video is a rich, colourful personal journey through Poland's celebration of Jewish culture.
The next edition of the festival takes place in the Kazimierz district in the summer of 2013, with over 300 events for an international audience of tens of thousands of people. See more on the festival at: www.jewishfestival.pl
