Małe Instrumenty & Mariusz Wilczyński
Music for Mariusz Wilczyński's Films
Małe Instrumenty (Small Instruments) are a band exploring new sounds using a wide array of (very) small instruments. The instruments used in their sonic experiments feature an ever expanding array of strange musical inventions, children's toys and anything they can find that makes a sound. In this highly visual multi-media concert, Małe Instrumenty responds to the internationally renowned work of Mariusz Wilczyński, a leading Polish animation filmmaker. Alongside the musical response of Małe Instrumenty to Wilczyński's exisiting work, the concert will include live animation by Wilczyński with an improvised response from Małe Instrumenty.

CFCP CINEMA Celebration of diversity
CFCP CINEMA has been set up as a totally open-access initiative - we have no selection process and no censorship. We show what we're given and let the audience make up their minds. All we want is to celebrate the diversity of the moving image and share it with our audiences. The lack of pre-selection induces a greater element of chance and a possibility for the utmost variety.
CFCP CINEMA shows take place once per month on the second Monday of each month. We aim to show ALL kind of films and videos at each show. The shows will be 2.5 hours long with a short break. We will provide a relaxing informal atmosphere, big screen, good sound, tea & coffee and you are more than welcome to bring your own refreshments with you. We will introduce the films and the film makers are encouraged to answer questions on their films if they so wish. We keep the entrance price as low as we can - €5 for members & €7.50 for non members - we still have to pay the rent.
As we are an Open Access Cinema and welcome all kind of productions (e.g. drama, experimental, documentary, animation, full length), we also encourage all experimental, low/no-budget productions. You can find out all the submission details here >>
