CHARITY PROJECT: We are very happy to announce that we have just received a letter from the executive director of ADRA confirming that your kind contributions covered the reparation of a substantial part of the roof of the children's home in Mukachevo. The collected money was used exclusively for this purpose and the work is now completed. You can check the invoices and some pictures here. ADRA and the festival organisers would like to thank again to all of you for helping us doing a good thing!

Przypadek/Blind Chance at Cinémathèque from 19.30 - followed by smashing our charity pigs and the debate (see below).
(9/10)
The CLOSING CEREMONY, which will take place on Sunday, 11/10 at Cinémathèque immediately after the screening of the film Przypadek/Blind Chance (starting at 19.30) will be an occasion for a recapitulative debate with historians, political scientists and other guests, from which many were personally involved in the events before, during and after the changes of 1989. We will invite them to express their points of view mainly on 2 major themes: 1) What really happened in 1989 and how was it possible that the communist regimes collapsed with virtually no violence? 2) What is the "outcome" of this “Autumn of the Nations” and of the 20 following years. Was it really a happy ending for all East Europeans? We will also try - and invite the audience to do likewise - to connect some of the questions with situations taken from the movies of the cycle.
