CSW at Ujazdowski Castle Begins KINO.LATO Film Festival 

9 July 2008

posterThe 6th KINO.LATO film festival  at CSW Ujazdowski Castle was launched on July 4, with Dennis Hopper’s  legendary Easy Rider (1969), announced Cultural Attaché James Wolfe. This year the festival is dedicated to road movies and its aim is to present this varied and ever changing genre and its influence on world cinema. The festival organizers note that this genre has its roots in spoken and written tales of epic journeys, such as the Odyssey and the Aeneid. The modern "road picture" is believed to be a contemporary version of the Medieval heroic quest. The on-the-road plot was used at the birth of American Cinema but blossomed in the years after WWII, reflecting the boom of America's post-war automobile industry and youth culture and the growth of a related movement in American literature.  Arthur Pen’s Bonnie and Clyde (1967) and David Lynch’s Straight Story will be among the films presented during the festival.
