We are delighted to invite you to the SIDE Cinema this Friday at 7.30pm. There will be Polish film ‘Extras’ screened!!!

Date: 16th May

Time: 7:30pm

Address: SIDE Cinema, 1-3 Side, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 3JE, UK
Film: Extras (with English subtitles)

Director: Michał Kwieciński Year of production 2005 Country Poland Language Polish (English subtitles) Running time 115 mins

Chinese filmmakers decide to shoot a movie in Poland. They perceive Poles as a nation of sad people, so they want to hire them, when they need Europeans with gloomy faces to work as extras. The surprising events on the film set will lead to a revision of stereotypes. People from two different nations will each look at themselves from a distance and as a result, it will bring them together. 5 Awards at Polish Film Festival 2006

See you on Friday!

We are continuing series of lectures about PL Dialog in this week. Two of the lectures are at Newcastle University and one is in The Globe - Polish pub. All of them tell a story about our culture, our roots and reasons/causations why we do things that we do… especially as migrants in the UK.

Hope to see you there!
