Danske Gas, partner of the August edition of LOLEK Kino Letnie ‘Oscarowe Środy’
On four Wednesdays in August, four films honoured by the Academy were shown on Pole Mokotowskie. Danske Gas was a partner of the August edition of LOLEK Kino Letnie ‘Oscarowe Środy’ (Oscar Wednesdays).
Warsaw, Pole Mokotowskie
Cinema came into the world bearing the surname of light – Lumière. And though more than a hundred and thirty years have passed since that first screening, its ritual has remained unchanged: the day goes out, the screen lights up. In August that ritual played out on Pole Mokotowskie.
The screen waits patiently for the sky to ripen into indigo, and only then does it begin to tell its story. In the clearing by ulica Rokitnicka, that moment smelt of cut grass and a warm August evening.
The August edition of LOLEK Kino Letnie ‘Oscarowe Środy’ brought four evenings and four films about which the Academy had already said all there was to say, and which still had something to say to their audience. On 5, 12, 19 and 26 August, always just after dark, the clearing on Pole Mokotowskie beside LOLEK grill & bar became the stalls.
For years LOLEK grill & bar has been the place where the conversation after the film outlasts the closing credits, and where a deckchair and a blanket serve perfectly well in place of a festival dinner jacket.
The audience took to heart the simplest piece of festival advice: they came before dark, found a place on the grass and let August tell them four good stories.
LOLEK Kino Letnie ‘Oscarowe Środy’: Wednesdays 5, 12, 19 and 26 August 2026, the clearing beside LOLEK grill & bar, ul. Rokitnicka 2 (Pole Mokotowskie), screenings just after dark. Event partner: Danske Gas.
Our thanks to the LOLEK Kino Letnie ‘Oscarowe Środy’ team.
