#FILM

The life and work of Patti Smith

It’s the first of a series of screenings of fantastic documentaries shown at Warsaw’s Planete+ Doc Film Festival. ‘Patti Smith: Dream of Life’ is a documentary directed by Steven Sebring that won a number of important awards, including ‘Excellence in Cinematography Award” at Sundance Film Festival.
The screening is one of many occasions this summer to visit Plac Defilad – the biggest square in Warsaw just in front of the Palace of Culture and Science. A group of activists and institutions formed a coalition to bring the square back to the attention of the locals. This Wednesday, a little before the film you can also see a premiere of a video by Der Father (see right) and buy some cool Warsaw souvenirs from the Bęc Zmiana pop-up store which opens in the square.

#MUSIC

Keyboards, vocals and experiment

Der Father is a duo composed of Joanna Halszka Sokołowska, a singer, and Daniel Pigoński, a keyboardist and composer. They say what puts the two together is keyboards, synthesizers, guitars, melody and fun, which sounds like good reason to start a band! Their concert will be part of Lado w Mieście series which showcases artists of Lado ABC, one of the most creative Warsaw labels. And Plac Zabaw is a lovely open-air summer bar just off Łazienki park so it may be on your way from a late afternoon walk:)

#ART / #GAMES

Art inspired by games

It’s not skills that make you win when you toss a coin but mere luck. And this is how Ryszard Winiarski worked with his art: he let statistics and theory of games take over and create art. You can see the works of Winiarski at Zachęta Art Gallery but if you’d like to try and reverse the situation and this time let art inspire the games, come to Temat Rzeka where at 6pm you can take part in a performance of creating a game leaving the rules of randomness work. As you can see, in Warsaw it’s enough to go to a bar for the art to take you over!
