To bring the festival to a close, Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner, a leading figure in film music and a close collaborator of Krzysztof Kieślowski, presents a two-part programme. Requiem for My Friend, composed in 1996 following Kieślowski’s death, pays tribute to the filmmaker whose final journey he accompanied. The second part, My Life, features a piano reinterpretation of themes from his film scores, freely interpreted by jazz pianist Dominik Wania. An evening where music, cinema and memory come together.
