Wednesday at the Timeless Film Festival Warsaw – Day Three
The timeless adventure continues! The first screenings are behind us – packed cinemas, lively post-film discussions, and inspiring encounters around iconic titles. What’s ahead? Here’s what Wednesday brings at the 2nd edition of Timeless Film Festival Warsaw.
Cinema connections made easy
A quick reminder: this year’s festival takes place across four cinemas, all conveniently accessible by metro: Ziemia Obiecana (near Służew metro station), Iluzjon Cinema (near Pole Mokotowskie station), Muranów Ciema (near Ratusz Arsenał station), Luna Cinema (close to Politechnika station). The exact addresses of each cinema can be found here.
The Brothers Quay: Into the Labyrinth of Imagination
We’re thrilled to welcome the Brothers Quay to this year’s festival — true masters of stop-motion animation whose hauntingly surreal films have reshaped experimental cinema. At 3:45 PM in Iluzjon Cinema, we present a program of their short films. At 8:30 PM, also in Iluzjon, don’t miss Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream That People Call Human Life, their visionary first feature.
Let’s talk about cinema
We know how much you love film discussions – that’s why tonight at 8:30 PM, Luna Cinema becomes home to a special session hosted by Pełna Sala Film Club. Film critic and scholar Paweł Teszner will lead an after-screening conversation around Andrzej Żuławski’s That Most Important Thing: Love.
Meanwhile, at Muranów Cinema, Maciej Jarkowiec – reporter, essayist, and curator of the Easy Riders, Raging Bulls. New Hollywood 1967–1980 section – will give a TEDx-style talk ahead of the screening of The Last Picture Show.
Program highlights – what to look out for this Wednesday?
Slapstick, philosophical grotesque, or pure nonsense? Anything goes. Step into the world of Monty Python – today at 3:00 PM, as part of the Film Lovers’ Feast section: Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
A classic comedy Western by genre master Howard Hawks (of Red River fame), featuring the legendary John Wayne as a brave sheriff. Hop on your horse and head to the Wild West with Rio Bravo, screening at 2:30 PM in Ziemia Obiecana.
The feature debut of Mai Zetterling, made possible thanks to… a LUX soap commercial. Let this intriguing teaser serve as your invitation to her retrospective. Join us for Loving Couples at 5:45 PM at Iluzjon Cinema.
Festival merchandise
If you’re visiting Muranów Cinema, keep your eyes peeled for our festival merch. We’ve got you covered: coffee, tote bags, posters, and even baseball caps (because we believe in springtime sunshine!). Take us home and let the word timeless take on new meaning.
But before heading home, swing by the festival club at Bar Studio, where each day ends with cinema chats and plans for the next screenings. See you there!
