WE DON'T MEET in LITERACKA this time.This time Paweł with Pauline from France will present: 🎬 Amélie — A Love Letter to Paris
Amélie is one of the most recognizable European films of the 21st century — a true global phenomenon that has enchanted millions of viewers worldwide. It was seen by over 20 million people in cinemas and became one of the most successful French films in international distribution.
Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, it helped redefine how the world imagines Paris — not just as a city, but as a legend.
🗼 Paris as myth
This is not realism.
This is Paris as dream, as memory, as story told at dusk in a café.
Critics called it:
“An intoxicating celebration of imagination and joy.”
💫 Why see it?
because it captures the essence of joie de vivre like few films ever have
because it turns everyday life into something magical
because it reminds us how much wonder can still exist in the ordinary
because it shaped how an entire generation imagines Paris
✨ Cultural impact
Amélie became:
a defining symbol of modern French cinema
a global reference point for charm, style, and visual storytelling
a film that continues to inspire artists, filmmakers, and travelers
👉 Join us for a screening of a film that doesn’t just tell a story — it creates a world you’ll want to step into.

********************************************
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 discover how usefull movies are as educational tools to talk about Poland things have changed. He started to focus more on the important movies about Polish history. Then one day in November 2015 he decided to share it not only during his work as a proffesional tour guide, but also to Couchsurfing community and all culturally hungry people, this time totally for free. Since that day in 2015 Paweł joined academy of Polish films academy, attended as many lectures as possible. Constantly reads about Polish cinema and developed his true passion. At one point Paweł did even screen several Polish low-budget productions inviting people who were involved in production. But it was difficult to find movies like that regularly. If you would like to screen yours movie or movie of your friend, let me know! When after almost 90 years Poland finally got first Oscar, (We have only one small category - foreign language film) Paweł organized screening of "Ida" in cinema twice. In his opinion English subtitles well very much cenzored which ... is the key reason why this movie get oscar. Nevertheless first Paweł's impression about the event was terrible. 60 people in the hall, for many of them it was the first Polish film they will ever see, at least half of them eating chips making huge noice with their plastic packages, one person even open yoghurt, take the spoon and start to eat regular supper... Paweł though that that will be huge failer, those people probably expect an easy entertainment, American style shallow action or comedy film, but... At the end of the screening there was about 2 minutes of total silence... and then huge applause after. Paweł thinks that something very important happened that night and those emotions related made this project very valuable! Each movie is followed by Pawel's or his friend introduction. Sometimes they also screen very rare and almost impossible to find online interviews with director. Off course all materials are with English subtitles. Sometimes screening of the movie is connected with the tour in the museum or around the city if the topic is related. Integration in English & Party
