The film View of Krakow talks about the city of Krakow and the Malopolska region. The role of the region’s ambassador is taken by Adam Zagajewski. The poet will show his literary Krakow — his masters, favourite places, fellow writers, and will tell about his literary path and Polish literature. Wisława Szymborska, Czesław Miłosz and other artists with ties with Krakow will also be mentioned. Magdalena Piekorz is the film’s director.
The producer is the Krakow Festival Office, with TVP and the Book Institute as partners. The project is supported by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage with funds from the Promoting Readership program. The funds are managed by the Book Institute.
The Polish episode of the City(W)rites is being produced under the Reading Malopolska project. Reading Malopolska is a project envisaged for the years 2007–2013 and supported with the funds of the Malopolska Regional Operational Programme, under which Malopolska and its capital, Krakow, want to communicate their literary heritage and participate in the building of a network of co-operation of creative regions in the field of literature.
