TVP SA DIGITAL RECONSTRUCTION ZONE AT THE 49<sup>th</sup> PFF

TVP SA Digital Reconstruction Zone at the 49th Polish Film Festival in Gdynia

23rd–28th September 2024

Grunwaldzki Square, Gdynia

This year’s edition of the TVP SA Digital Reconstruction Zone is a meeting place –with film and filmmakers but also a team of specialists from Ośrodek Dokumentacji i Zbiorów Programowych TVP [TVP Documentation and Antenna Archives Centre]. We invite everybody who would like to take a closer look at Telewizja Polska’s archive and see what the everyday process of digital reconstruction of TV materials looks like.

From Monday to Friday, between 11.00 a.m. and 2.30 p.m., primary school students will take part in workshops where they will get to know how to prepare a film reel for digitalisation and what the digital reconstruction process or colour correction look like. From 3.00 p.m. we invite to the zone all those who would like to see up close how a film scanner works and to get to know the secrets of the trade of film reconstructors. Every day at 5.30 p.m., during open workshops, we are going to explore the intricacies of digital film reconstruction together, and our team will eagerly answer all – even the hardest – your questions.

At the same time, in our other space – the film zone, from 3 p.m. until late in the evening, it will be possible to attend free screenings of films and series produced by Telewizja Polska. This year, we would very much like to invite you to see the works of Jerzy Stuhr, Janusz Majewski and Arkadiusz Tomiak. From Friday 27th September we will present works of Jan Jakub Kolski and we will invite you to the open panel “Andrzej Wajda – artist, citizen. What do archives of TVP tell?”, organised by Telewizja Polska and Andrzej Wajda Centre for Film Culture. On Saturday from 10:00 a.m. we invite the youngest festival audience to films and series for children and youth. We also invite you to attend film meetings with the biggest stars of the Polish music scene, such as Zbigniew Wodecki, Urszula Sipińska and Marek Grechuta.

The central point of the Zone will be the everyday evening film screenings starting from 6:30 p.m., accompanied by meetings with special guests, such as: Feliks Falk, Marina Fabbri, Kinga Dębska, Maria Dębska, Piotr Lenar, Milenia Fiedler, Tomasz Naumiuk.
