Discussion after the film | Journey to the Roots | Memory Tourism

Is it possible to travel to your past? After the screening of the film “Birthplace” by Paweł Łoziński, we will talk about a journey that does not lead to an attractive destination, but to one's own roots and memory. Eryk Krasucki, Izabela Skórzyńska and Weronika Fibich will consider whether returning to places related to family history can change the way we understand ourselves.
