The best Polish DJs and representatives of the Polish electronic music scene, including DJ Motyl, SLG, Marcin Czubala, Jacek Sienkiewicz and Pier Bucci, put on a dynamic show.
The evening opened with a showing of the documentary film "Beats of Freedom". Beats of Freedom tells the story of rock music during the Communist era in the People's Republic of Poland through the eyes of Chris Salewicz, a British journalist of Polish heritage. It's a film about the sound that gave people a dose of freedom, about one of few aspects of everyday life that gave a bit of elbow room in an otherwise constrained society
Directed by Leszek Gnoiński and Wojciech Słota, the film is the first installment in the Guide to the Poles series. The narrative traces several plots, beginning with Chris Salewicz's meeting with three individuals who were essential to the burgeoning rock music scene. Tomek Lipiński, frontman for Tilt and Brygada Kryzys, manager and journalist Piotr Nagłowski, and photographer and historian Mirek Makowski. The three recounted their stories about the meaning behind the music of those times, along with descriptions of what Poland was like life for the everyday man - all against the background of the history of the past half century. Interviews and archive materials compose a broad vision of the Polish struggle for political, social and individual freedoms.
