Surrounded by greenery, benches, deckchairs and the unique atmosphere of Bielany, it is ideal for summer cinema in Warsaw.

You can count on a solid dose of film excitement here on Thursdays in July at 21:30 and in August at 21:00, with the last screening on 21 August. The programme includes hits as well as more niche, noteworthy titles. The series 'Curiously and Ridiculously' - a good FSL composition. What specifically? For example, "Cloud Boy" - a fact-based story about the unusual friendship between a boy and wild geese, full of adventure and awe of nature. "Shazam!", on the other hand, is a light-hearted, comic superproduction about a teenager who magically transforms into an adult superhero with a good sense of humour. If you prefer a gripping political thriller, see 'Civil War'. A terrifying vision of internal conflict in a divided America, from the perspective of courageous war correspondents - powerful stuff.

The Film Capital of the Summer in Bielany is the perfect option for local residents and visitors, combining relaxation, culture and an open-air film community. If you're on the hunt for open-air cinema in Warsaw on Thursdays, Metro Słodowiec is the right choice.
