It’s a good thing we wear masks (PREMIERE) and meeting with the creators | Friday 07:00 pm – 08:30 pm
A premiere of a documentary!
Sometimes you have to put on a mask to show your real face. Konrad devoted nearly five years to creating his dream outfit. Although he treats cosplay as a way to improve his own world, he also gives joy to others – often those most in need. However, even in the fictional world, there are crises that need to be dealt with. And when you start to “run out of air” behind the mask – you have to catch your breath somehow. Initially promising solutions to problems may turn out to be wrong. How do you not give up then? Will it be helpful to stick to your dreams? “It’s a good thing we wear masks” is a portrait of a man – a perfectionist who – playing fictional characters from a distant galaxy – faces real life: work, spirituality and the need for belonging.
An intimate, humorous, but also emotional story of a fan’s passion that becomes a way of life.
After the screening, there will be a meeting with the filmmakers Bartosz Pawłowski, Bohdan Reva and the protagonist of the film – Konrad Kobus. We look forward to seeing you there!

One of the first horror films in the history of cinema, which was an important factor in the development of the genre. The film premiered on March 4, 1922.
