Kino na Temat is a series of film events addressed to upper primary and secondary school children on the themes important to young people on the cusp of adulthood. The carefully selected titles and interesting topics give impulse to emotional discussions. Different sets of titles and topics are prepared for 5-7th grade kids and secondary-school youth. Each event is composed of a film screening and a debate with invited guests – journalists and experts in the areas relevant to the theme of the meeting. A vote on a topical question asked during the discussion is one of the key elements of each event. The most popular 2017 films were: Loving Vincent, Maria Skłodowska-Curie and Goodbye Berlin.
Kino na Temat Junior is a series of educational events with films and storytelling for pre-schoolers and children in early grades of primary school. Film screenings are combined with an interactive element. Each screening is preceded by workshops of quizzes with attractive prizes, both developed by film educators to fit the core curriculum for a relevant education level. The recent season was the first with a permanent offer for pre-schoolers. The content and educational expertise is provided by film educators.
In 2017 the most popular titles in Kino na Temat Junior were: Tarapaty, Sing and Smurfs, and in the pre-schoolers section: a series of Polish animations, Hold Me Tight and Kasper and Emma Go Hiking.
