“Candidates of Death” is a film about the power of great friendship, growing up, the changes we go through, our fears, dreams, and plans, set against the backdrop of a grand cinematic adventure spanning decades.
Over a dozen years ago, Maciej took his son and two of his young friends on vacation, during which they filmed an amateur horror movie together. Little did he know then that it would turn into one of the greatest adventures of his life, lasting over a decade.

Millennium Docs Against Gravity is one of the largest documentary film festivals in the world, showcasing top-tier cinema. This year, the event will take place from May 8th to 17th in seven cities, and we invite you to watch six hits from the 23rd edition as part of the MDAG Festival Weekend.
This year’s edition of the project is themed “Searching.” Filmmakers are searching for the best ways to tell stories about reality, while audiences are searching for knowledge, inspiration, and tools to understand the world. Together, we seek understanding – in times of polarization and uncertainty.
We would like to remind our audience that the Centre for Culture’s Cinema runs according to the creed “Cinema, not popcorn”. We focus on advertising-free screenings. The showtimes in our cinema are equivalent to the start of the film screening. Please arrive on time. According to the regulations, late arrivals will not be admitted to the screenings.
