On Thursday, 12 November 2026, at 5.30 p.m., the Światowid arthouse cinema (ul. 3 Maja 7, Katowice) will host a screening of the film Klara and the Sun (UK, USA, India, 2026, 116 min) as part of the ‘Film Meetings with Psychology’ series.
Klara and the Sun is based on the bestselling novel by Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro. The film is written and directed by Oscar® winner Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit). It tells the story of Klara (Jenna Ortega), a solar-powered robot created to provide support and companionship to humans in their daily lives. The film explores the nature of friendship in an era when technology often leaves us feeling increasingly lonely.
The post-screening discussion will be led by Magdalena Sitko-Dominik, PhD from the Institute of Psychology of the University of Silesia in Katowice.
More details about the event can be found on the Światowid cinema website.
The ‘Film Meetings with Psychology’ series was conceived and curated by Michał Brol, PhD, Assoc. Prof., from the Institute of Psychology at the Faculty of Social Sciences. More information is available on the Institute’s website.
This is one of several recurring events held at the Światowid cinema in Katowice. Other initiatives, organised in collaboration with faculty members from the University of Silesia, include the ‘Meetings with Philosophy’ series. Furthermore, each academic year, University of Silesia lecturers associated with various faculties and degree programmes participate in special events hosted at the Światowid cinema, such as Millennium Docs Against Gravity—the largest documentary film festival in Poland.
It is worth noting that the Światowid cinema in Katowice has been named the best cinema in Poland, receiving this year’s Polish Film Institute Award in the ‘Cinema’ category. The distinction was granted in recognition of its contributions to film culture, the promotion of an ambitious repertoire, and the cultivation of a community centred around an independent, arthouse-style cinema.
