Description from the organisers:
There are many people who enjoy finding familiar places and views on the big screen. Especially when they are less recognisable than the Main Square and Wawel Castle. But what makes a place become a film location? Are there any places that are particularly popular for filming, and what makes this happen? Since when has Krakow been attracting film crews? Does it always “play” itself? On the wave of the July premiere of Juliusz Machulski's “Vinci 2”, we will look at the screen image of Krakow from a historical perspective, but we will also try to take a look behind the scenes of film production.
