National Centre for Film Culture
About

The National Centre for Film Culture in Łódź is a modern institution dedicated to exploring the art, history, and future of cinema, located within the revitalised EC1 complex. Opened in 2023, it combines the functions of a museum, archive, educational hub, and cinema, offering one of the most extensive presentations of Polish cinematography. Its permanent exhibitions, including “Kino Polonia” and “The Matter of Cinema,” guide visitors through 120 years of film history and the full filmmaking process, from script to screen. The centre also develops studios for sound, animation, and special effects, creating a space where audiences can learn, experiment, and engage with audiovisual culture. With its striking post‑industrial setting and innovative approach to film education, the National Centre for Film Culture has quickly become a major cultural landmark in Łódź, celebrating both the city’s cinematic heritage and its creative future.
