Thursday 24 may Perfume: The Story of a Murderer Full film screening with live music World premiere of the simultaneous performance Friday 25 may Wojciech Kilar. Festive 80th Birthday Gala Live film music by Wojciech Kilar illustrated with movie clips Saturday 26 may Part I: Alien – The Biomechanical Symphony suites from: Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien: Resurrection Part II: Elliot Goldenthal's Cinema of Art & Blood suites from: Frida, Titus Andronicus, Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles, and others. Very impressive lineup and program, having missed the Alien concert in Spain couple of years ago it's very tempting with all the added Goldenthal material. I loved Perfume and am a fan of Kilar's scores. The airflight to Krakow is very cheap from Belgium so I'm definitely looking into logistics. Anyone been to this festival before?    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 3:24 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Oh no! Goldenthal is coming over AGAIN!? Man....that means I should come. But since I've already landed on LA in August, I can't seem to justify the expenses. Never been to this festival, but I've always wanted to come...especially because of the city itself.    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 3:29 AM     By:   Francis   (Member) Oh no!

Never been to this festival, but I've always wanted to come...especially because of the city itself. It looks very intriguing with the concerts taking place in the arcelor mittal tinning plant. Perfect setting for an Alien concert.    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 3:50 AM     By:   Lokutus   (Member) Any chance to meet any of the guests there in person for a signing or anything like that???    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 4:23 AM     By:   Althazan   (Member) I've been there (here exactly, I'm from Krakow ) last year (Hisaishi) and 3 years ago (Shore/Kaczmarek). Every year are conferences with fans, when autographes can be collected    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 6:07 AM     By:   Lokutus   (Member) Cool! I might be going then If the problem with trasportation after the concert from last year is fixed by the organizers. Also it would be good to know when exactly are these conferences, as there is nothing about them on the program.    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 6:14 AM     By:   E-Wan   (Member) Unfortunatelly last year there was no signing session with Joe Hisaishi    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 6:43 AM     By:   Francis   (Member) If the problem with trasportation after the concert from last year is fixed by the organizers. Isn't it possible to get to the city center via tram or bus after the concert(s)?    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 6:49 AM     By:   Urs Lesse   (Member) Let's hope for a swift Nostromo shuttle    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 6:50 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) I just did a cost triangulation....just for fun. The cheapest airplane ticket from Norway is with Ryan Air, and it's about 1300 NOK, $225. Quite expensive for Poland. Hotels were rather expensive too -- found one for about 1500 NOK ($260) from Wednesday to Sunday. That was among the cheapest found that were close to the city centre. I had imagined it was cheaper. It was when I went to Warzaw a couple of years ago. So about $500 plus living expenses....I don't know.    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 7:04 AM     By:   Francis   (Member) I just did a cost triangulation....just for fun.

For me the airplane ticket is a lot cheaper (60 euro also via ryanair), and there are hostels in Krakow, much cheaper alternative to hotel (go to booking.com and select hostel, sort by price), you'll see that there are rooms available for 10-20 euro per night. Plane & festival tickets aside, I think a budget of 200 euro will suffice easily. The tickets for the festival are insanely cheap.    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 8:00 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Ah, yeah, that's much cheaper airfare. That's what you get for livin' down on the continent! I thought about hostels, but realize I'm too old for that. I prefer to have my own room (alternatively share with people I know very well). I can't take snoring!    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 8:11 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) But you're right...I found a couple of hostels that offer single rooms with their own bathroom. I'm awaiting feedback from the arrangers (if I'm going, I'll be using a press accreditation again), and if it's OK with composer interviews etc. -- and the airplane tickets are still reasonable -- I might throw myself around and join this too!    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 9:40 AM     By:   Althazan   (Member) Unfortunatelly last year there was no signing session with Joe Hisaishi Yes, there wasn't dedicated signing session, but some of us were lucky enough: If the problem with trasportation after the concert from last year is fixed by the organizers. Isn't it possible to get to the city center via tram or bus after the concert(s)? Last year it was a problem indeed. There were regular buses only, without any extras. I hope this time it will be fixed.    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 10:45 AM     By:   Adam Krysinski   (Member) Unfortunatelly last year there was no signing session with Joe Hisaishi Yes, there wasn't dedicated signing session, but some of us were lucky enough: Exactly!    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 11:43 AM     By:   John Smith   (Member) Infuriating! For the fifth year running, my wife will get to see all the concerts (our house is a half-hour bus-ride from the venue) and I'll be stuck here in Saudi Arabia - the only country in the world where orchestral music is banned!    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 3:40 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) Infuriating!

Ouch. I was in Dubai in 2010, but seem to remember plenty of orchestral music here and there. Strange that Saudi Arabia is that much different.    Posted:   Mar 23, 2012 - 5:22 PM     By:   John Smith   (Member) Infuriating!

Ouch. I was in Dubai in 2010, but seem to remember plenty of orchestral music here and there. Strange that Saudi Arabia is that much different. I don't want to get into any political/religious discussion here, suffice to say that Dubai - which itself is no great shakes on the democracy front - is a paragon of Islamic liberalism compared to Saudi Arabia. Incidentally, I'll be back in Krakow for the 7th Film Music Festival (if there is one), so if you want to pay a visit to this gorgeous city then, you're more that welcome to come over and listen to my extensive collection of C&C soundtracks...    Posted:   Apr 23, 2012 - 5:57 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) I'm coming to this. I just need to get the press access in order. But airplane and hotel already booked. See you there?    Posted:   Apr 23, 2012 - 1:46 PM     By:   Francis   (Member) We'll definitely have to meet up Thor, my plane ticket & hotel is booked as well. So who else is coming?     General Discussion: 5th Krakow Film Music Festival (Goldenthal, Kilar)    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
