Piekiełko in your home. Concerts at the 45th PFF
A series of music video sessions from the iconic club at the Mercure Gdynia Centrum Hotel is one of the attractions of this year’s Polish Film Festival. There is no Gdynia Festival without a visit to this place, even if it is held online. This year, each cinema and music lover will have a chance to experience Piekiełko in their own home three times.
We have invited film music composers who are also at the forefront of the Polish avant‑garde scene to participate in the music sessions. We have prepared three video sessions that we will present during the 45th PFF in the social media of the Polish Film Festival.
