All These Sleepless Nights. The opening party of MDAG 2026
free admission
2026 is the new 2016. Or so they say. For this past decade we have been wandering the streets of Warsaw to arrive at the Palace of Culture for the opening party of Millennium Docs Against Gravity. We will time travel through these 10 years to see what music revelations have defined us, with an abundance of melodic references to what has also been the soundtrack of our festival. Maybe for you it will be Paper Planes by M.I.A or maybe May is inseparable from the sound of Give It Up by Princess Shaw, as heard in the trailer of our festival?
2016 saw the premier of the film “All These Sleepless Nights” at Sundance, where Michał Marczak won the Directing Award. In 2026 Marczak returned to Sundance with his new film “Closure”, which will screen in the Main Competition at Millennium Docs Against Gravity.
The party is held simultaneously in Kulturalna and barStudio. In Kulturalna we will take you on a musical journey from 2016 up till 2026 and barStudio will become a time capsule, where time stood still and we live in 2016. The event will be accompanied by a photo showcase by “K MAG” editor-in-chief Mikołaj Komar, created as part of his series “Komar’s Eye” in 2016.
