The Krzyżowa Foundation, as part of the "Together we will do more" project, is implementing a project called "Outdoor Cinema". The project is financed by the EU as part of initiatives for the employment of young people and is implemented in partnership with the Karkonoski Sejmik Osób Niepełnosprawnych from Jelenia Góra and Acsm sp.z o.o. from Wrocław.
From December 2019 to July 2020, a group of 40 young people from Lower Silesia developed their social competences during training courses in Krzyżowa and Jelenia Góra. The acquired theory, which is trained in the workshops, is strengthened by the voluntary activities of the project participants for the benefit of the local community. The coronavirus pandemic forced us to review our plans, but it didn't stop us from acting. Sewing protective masks, collecting materials for radio broadcasts, helping those in need in providing them with the necessary means of living during quarantine was a real training for the participants in project work. The organization of outdoor film screenings in Krzyżowa and Komorów is the last task of our volunteers under the project.

The third show of the Outdoor Cinema, which took place for the first time in Komorów, was dominated by a young audience. Impatient with the anticipation of the beginning of the projection, they showed up on the pitch in Komorów long before the screening started and ... join the fun.
Although we were welcomed by a passing rain, nobody lost their good humor and probably all of us survived until the end of the capricious aura. The reward for this was a beautiful rainbow, followed by a screening that brought a lot of joy to the young and the elderly.
Another Outdoor Cinema in Komorów is coming soon.

The courtyard in front of the palace in Krzyżowa was once again transformed into a one-of-a-kind cinema room. On Sunday, 8 August, as part of the summer Outdoor Cinema, the screening of the film "The Centenarian Who Climbed Out the Window and Vanished" by Felix Herngren took place. This time we offered the audience an adventure film with elements of a black comedy, about a nursing home resident who, on his hundredth birthday, decides to run away to start life anew.
Both the weather and the attendance were good - numerous cinema fans of all ages appreciated both the subject of the screening, as well as the place and formula of the Outdoor Cinema. Once again, almost all the seats were occupied, but the large space of the courtyard allowed for maintaining an appropriate distance and comfortable watching the film.

The second screening at the summer Outdoor Cinema in Krzyżowa will take place next Sunday – 9 August and will start a little earlier, at 20.30. This time we will watch the international production of the Swedish director Felix Herngren entitled „The Centenarian Who Climbed Out the Window and Vanished”. It is a combination of a black comedy and an adventure film about a nursing home resident who, on his hundredth birthday, decides to start his life anew.
The screening will take place in the courtyard in front of the palace, which will ensure social distancing. However, remember to take masks or other items of clothing with you to cover your mouth and nose. It is also worth getting warm clothes or blankets, because the evening can be cool and the session will last about two hours. Possible snacks and drinks can be purchased on site.
Participation in the Outdoor Cinema is free.
