It will be a weekend full of attractions! The second edition of the Festival of Brands, which is the most important event organised as part of the Famous Avenue project, will take place on Wojska Polskiego Avenue on 18 and 19 September.
The programme of the event has numerous interesting points; there will be Film Meetings, workshops and animations for everyone, walks, an outdoor game and discounts from Famous Brands. Everyone is invited!
The Festival of Brands is an annual event held as part of the Famous Avenue project, in which residents, entrepreneurs and the city jointly try to find a way to revitalise Wojska Polskiego Avenue between Zwycięstwa Square and Szarych Szeregów Square. Famous Szczecin Brands operating within the Avenue are involved in the project.
“This year, the leading brand of the project is one of the oldest cinemas in the world – Pionier Cinema, around which various film events take place, such as: Location-Based Game “Animation, Action”, Film Quiz and Motion Animation Workshops,” said Tomasz Klek, spokesman of the Famous Avenue project.
The Pionier Cinema accompanied also other events: Cross-border city walks and outdoor screenings “Kino na Leżakach” (Outdoor Cinema). All these initiatives heralded this year’s Festival of Brands.
Film Meetings in the Pionier Cinema
This year’s programme of the Festival features numerous attractions. The highlight will be Film Meetings in the Pionier Cinema, which start on Friday, 17 September, and last until Sunday, 19 September. The repertoire of the review is diverse; it includes films referring to Szczecin, remakes of famous productions, as well as films raising important and current issues.
There will be meetings with directors and actors, multimedia screenings and remarkable screenings with a silent film pianist, which are always popular. A detailed repertoire of the Film Meetings will be available soon.
