TVP DIGITAL RECONSTRUCTION ZONE
Learn the secrets of digital reconstruction and let its results amaze you!
In the TVP Digital Reconstruction Zone during the 50th Polish Film Festival in Gdynia, you can watch films, meet filmmakers, and talk to the team of specialists from the TVP Documentation and Programme Collection Centre. We invite everyone who wants to explore the archive of Telewizja Polska and see up close how television materials are digitised. The Zone offers an opportunity to get a glimpse of diverse television resources and to watch award-winning Festival films produced or co-produced by Telewizja Polska.
From Monday to Friday, between 11.00 a.m. and 2.30 p.m., primary and high school students will participate in workshops. They will learn how to prepare a film reel for digitisation and witness the process of digital reconstruction and colour correction. From 3.00 p.m., we invite anyone who would like to see up close how a film scanner works and learn the tricks of the trade from film restoration specialists. They will eagerly answer all your questions related to the digital reconstruction of audiovisual archives. Every day at 5.00 p.m., during open workshops, we will explore the intricacies of digital film reconstruction together.
Simultaneously, in another part of our space – the film zone, from 3 p.m. until late in the evening, you can attend free screenings of films, series, archival television reports, and podcasts produced by Telewizja Polska. Film screenings combined with meetings with special guests will be the main attractions.
This year, we would like to pay special tribute to films that made their mark on the Polish Film Festival by winning the recognition of jurors and audiences alike. Every day from 6 p.m., we will screen films that won awards in various categories at the Festival over the past several decades, produced or distributed by Telewizja Polska. In addition to well-known television films, such as Nothing But Fear (dir. Barbara Sass) and Yellow Scarf (dir. Janusz Morgenstern), we will show cinema productions that have been recognised in recent years at the Festival, including Filip (dir. Michał Kwieciński) and Scarborn (dir. Paweł Maślona).
The Zone will host three special events: RE-premieres of the digitally restored A Miraculous Place (dir. Jan Jakub Kolski), History of Cinema in Popielawy (dir. Jan Jakub Kolski), and The Spindle of Time (dir. Andrzej Kondratiuk). On Saturday morning, we invite the youngest viewers of the Festival to meet KoziołekMatołek with restored image and sound quality. Will the road to Pacanów be less bumpy after digital reconstruction? See for yourselves!
The detailed programme is available at the TVP Digital Reconstruction Zone in Grunwaldzki Square.
