• Trattoria Venezia — downstairs in a pizzeria which is in the same building with the hotel. Just enter, ask the waiter or receptionist about the movie meeting and go downstairs to join us. Please remember that the glass doors to the movie room open sideways. Please don't push them nor pull. Meeting is free; it will be kind to order something. There is ok beer and coffee and very good pizza. Nevertheless please don't bring your own food and drinks.

• Cafe Literacka — located in the bookstore, ask the bar attendant where the movie room is located. They have great cakes and salads, ok beer and sinfully cheap table wine.

Paweł is a local city, cultural and food tour guide in Kraków since 2007. Initially his knowledge about Polish films was average. But then when he discovered how useful movies are as educational tools to talk about Poland, things changed. He started to focus more on important movies about Polish history. Then one day in November 2015 he decided to share it not only during his work as a professional tour guide, but also to the Couchsurfing community and all culturally hungry people, this time totally for free. Since that day in 2015 Paweł joined the academy of Polish films, attended as many lectures as possible, constantly reads about Polish cinema and developed his true passion. At one point Paweł even screened several Polish low-budget productions inviting people who were involved in production. If you would like to screen your movie or a friend's movie, let him know. When after almost 90 years Poland finally got its first Oscar (we have only one small category — foreign language film) Paweł organized screening of 'Ida' in cinema twice. In his opinion English subtitles were very much censored which ... is the key reason why this movie got an Oscar. Nevertheless Paweł's first impression about the event was terrible: 60 people in the hall, for many it was the first Polish film they would ever see, at least half of them eating chips making huge noise with their plastic packages, one person even opened yoghurt, took a spoon and started to eat regular supper... Paweł thought that that would be a huge failure, those people probably expected easy entertainment, American-style shallow action or comedy film, but at the end of the screening there were about 2 minutes of total silence... and then huge applause. Paweł thinks that something very important happened that night and those emotions made this project very valuable! Each movie is followed by Paweł's or his friend's introduction. Sometimes they also screen very rare and almost impossible to find online interviews with the director. Of course all materials are with English subtitles. Sometimes screening of the movie is connected with a tour in the museum or around the city if the topic is related. Integration in English & Party.
