We invite you to screenings with polish subtitles for Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences (SDH) at Światowid Cinema in Katowice.
Subtitles for Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences include not only a transcription of the dialogue, but also information about who is speaking, which makes it easier to follow conversations—especially in scenes with multiple characters. They also include descriptions of background sounds, music, and the emotions of the characters, helping to better convey the mood and dynamics of the film.
A Polish Sign Language (PJM) invitation to the festival will be available here soon.
List of screenings with polish SDH subtitles
CLOSURE
May 17 | 18:00 | Światowid Cinema
dir. Michał Marczak, 108 min, Poland, France, 2026
Daniel didn’t hear his son Krzysiek leaving the house and heading to the bridge over the Vistula—the last place he was seen. A camera captured him, and then he disappeared: either he jumped into the river or walked off the bridge. Since then, Daniel and his wife have been suspended between hope and fear. Unable to wait for a breakthrough in the investigation, Daniel builds a boat equipped with cameras and drones and begins searching the river himself. The long, solitary hours on the boat become a chance to confront his past.
MARIINKA
May 14 | 20:15 | Światowid Cinema
dir. Pieter-Jan de Pue, 94 min, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, 2026
“Mariinka” begins long before the full-scale Russian invasion. In eastern Ukraine, we follow young people whose lives have been shaped by over a decade of war in Donbas. Like in a Greek tragedy, two brothers fight on opposite sides, while the youngest lives far away in the United States. A story of belonging, loyalty, and divisions stronger than blood ties.
TIME AND WATER
May 14 | 18:15 | Światowid Cinema
dir. Sara Dosa, 93 min, Iceland, USA, 2026
A poetic story about memory, time, and loss. As Iceland’s glaciers melt and grandparents pass away, writer Andri Snær Magnason transforms family photos, recordings, myths, and songs into a time capsule preserving memories, family, and history. The film combines personal loss with a universal reflection on the passage of time.
