Doctoral Students’ Film Club

The Culture Commission of the Jagiellonian University’s PhD Student Association invites you to attend the next edition of the Doctoral Students' Film Club, which will be held in the White Auditorium of the Cinema Under the Rams (Rynek Główny 27) on Thursday November 10th at 6:00 PM. This time, we will watch Daniel Jaroszek's film Johnny, which is in Polish with English subtitles.

Admission is free for doctoral students at the Jagiellonian University, although the number of participants is limited. We ask all who are interested in attending the event to send an email to filip.mazurczak@doctoral.uj.edu.pl by Wednesday November 9th.

The introduction to the film will begin at 6:00 PM sharp. Please do not arrive late.

Based on a true story, Johnny is an inspiring and moving film told from the perspective of Patryk Galewski, a charge of Father Jan Kaczkowski.

Patryk breaks into a house in a small town. A court sentences him to do community service in a hospice in Puck, where he meets the unique Father Jan Kaczkowski. This priest engages young men from vocational schools, on the surface tough rebels, to help the terminally ill. In his work, he focuses on closeness, tenderness, and the struggle to build a relationship with the other person. He teaches his charges empathy with a large dose of humor, which brings him great popularity. Not long after, Jan himself becomes a patient in his own hospice. Patryk is left in a situation that will change his life.
