Screening of the documentary film “The Poet’s City” directed by Beata Netz, commemorating the anniversary of Feliks Netz’s death, at the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School.

Feliks Netz (1939–2015) was not only a talented literary figure but also an active cultural advocate associated with Katowice. Between 1971 and 1981, he served as head of the cultural section at the weekly magazine Panorama, and collaborated with Kazimierz Kutz at the “Silesia” Film Studio as a literary director. His work included poetry, prose, radio plays, and numerous translations from Hungarian.

The film “The Poet’s City” is a tribute to the life and work of Feliks Netz, showcasing his ties to the city and his influence on local culture. This is a perfect opportunity to learn more about this remarkable Silesian figure.

🔹 Burnout | Directed by Marta Z. Nowak | Cinematography: Jakub Stoszek | Production management: Gabriela Fita, Tomasz Widera, Wiktoria Goczoł
