Rotunda Cultural Centre exists as a student cultural centre for thirty years. Many prestigious festivals take place here, such as Ogólnopolski Przegląd Kabaretów PAKA, Międzynarodowy Festiwal Teatralny, Krakowskie Reminiscencje Teatralne. Here many stars of Polish musical scene had started their careers, e.g. Maryla Rodowicz, Marek Grechuta, Jacek Kaczmarski, Tomasz Stańko, MAANAM, Grzegorz Turnau, Leszek Możdżer and more. This tradition is being continued by younger music bands of different genres: HEY, Voo Voo, Raz Dwa Trzy, Myslovitz, T.Love, drawing many habitual and new guests to Rotunda.

 

PARADOX was at the very beginning was named “Zuch” and was a cinema intended mostly for kids. It was created in 1956 and since then new forms of cinema education were introduces, such as Sunday Family Cinema, required reading adaptations, film discussion club for high school youth or film clubs for younger children. Also it was a rare place to see original film versions, or recurrent opera presentations. Recently the cinema was transferred from Krowoderska Street to Krupnicza Street and in 2011 it will serve as one the IFF Etiuda&Anima festival objects.

Samurai Room is localised in Main Building of National Museum. It was created with financial support of Japanese Government. The audiovisual room with high-tech equipment and translators’ booths hosts many multimedia projections.

The consulate contributes largely in consolidating cooperation between regions of Central Europe, as Austria for many years had attached great importance to regional cooperation valuable for expanding European Union.

Whoever wants to find the Polish spirit, should look for it in Krakow. This sentence belongs to Wilhelm Feldman – a publicist and a literary historian, who was deeply in love with Krakow. To this day this city mirrors all the most interesting features not only of Poland, but also of the whole world.

 

Krakow is a remarkable, one-of-a-kind city, where history mixes with modernity on every step. This is an unforgettable place. Artists such as Stanisław Wyspiański, Tadeusz Kantor, Eugeniusz Mucha or Stanisław Mrożek had worked here and their achievements are marked with the city’s atmosphere. Jerzy Stuhr is still walking through the Planty Park, Marcin Świetlicki is a guest of one of small barrelhouses on Mały Rynek, and Jerzy Kalina can be spotted on any street, always busy and running somewhere. This former capital of Poland is now a centre of modern culture, where all art admirers can find something for themselves. Every year Kraków hosts as many as 100 festivals, over half of them recognised internationally. It’s no surprise that in October 2008 readers of ‘The Guardian’ named Kraków the second most interesting city in the world. In other survey the capital of Southern Poland was named one of the trendiest European cities with Venice, Florence, Rome and Istanbul also on the list. 

 

Kraków is getting well known and recognizable not only thanks to its historical objects and characteristic architecture. Beside its traditions, the city offers also a very special atmosphere of a place sensitive to culture. Modern image of Kraków is created by places such as Bunkier Sztuki – a gallery of modern and novel arts, Rotunda – one of the most recognizable cultural centres in Poland, and also Achemia – one of the clubs promoting art events in Krakow’s Kazimierz. In the everlasting Piwnica pod Baranami one can hear legendary tunes, and walking through small streets he or she can lose the sense of time in one of many jazz clubs.

 

Kraków is still evolving and still surprising. One of the most interesting projects is ‘6 Senses’ which promotes festival tourism and places emphasis on diversity of events. Visitors and inhabitants can take part historical music concerts and independent cinema festival. In the Premium cycle of ‘6 Senses’ there is Etiuda&Anima International Film Festival, changing and being developed as quickly, as the city itself.
