See what’s on in Lublin this weekend!
Cinema
We already know the 2019 Oscar nominations! The Centre for Culture will remind several Oscar-winning proposals: "Lighthouse" as one of the most important films from the last year. It is a psychological horror film directed and produced by Robert Eggers, who co-wrote the screenplay with his brother Max Eggers. Shot in black-and-white with a 1.19:1 aspect ratio, the film stars Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson as two lighthouse keepers who start to lose their sanity when a storm strands them on the remote island where they are stationed. The alternative film is "Marriage History". It is a 2019 drama film written, directed and produced by Noah Baumbach. It stars Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson. The film follows a married couple (Johansson and Driver) going through a coast-to-coast divorce. The story of Nicole (Scarlett Johannson) and Charlie (Adam Driver), whose marriage begins to fall apart when new career options appear before them.
Three screenings of the film "Kod Dedala/Daedalus Code" will be projected in the Centre for the Meeting of Cultures. This thriller tells the story of nine translators who are locked up altogether to translate the last part of the best-selling series. By the time the effects of their secret work appear on the Internet, they must determine who the thief is.
