The film Silent Friend<\/em> (Germany, Hungary, France, 2025, 147 mins) will be screened on Tuesday 19 May 2026 at 5.30 p.m. at the \u015awiatowid arthouse cinema (ul. 3 Maja 7, Katowice). The event is organised as part of the \u2018Film Meetings with Psychology\u2019 series.<\/p>\n In the heart of the university\u2019s botanical garden stands a magnificent ginkgo tree (Ginkgo biloba), which over the course of a century becomes a silent witness to and participant in the stories of three strangers. A determined young woman fights for a place at the botany department, seeking refuge in the shade of the tree from the prejudices of a male-dominated world of science. A lonely student, who has never paid attention to plants, finds a foothold in its silent presence following a turbulent period in his life. A neurologist from Hong Kong, influenced by his contact with the tree, begins to question his scientific convictions, discovering a deep connection between the visible and the intangible.<\/p>\n Silent Friend<\/em> is a film that soothes, inspires and opens our eyes to the things that slip unnoticed in our daily lives. It allows us to immerse ourselves in a story full of peace, beauty and emotional depth, reminding us of the powerful way nature affects us.<\/p>\n The post-film discussion will be led by Justyna Lipka, MA, from the Institute of Psychology of the University of Silesia in Katowice.<\/p>\n Further information about the event is available on the \u015awiatowid Cinema website<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row] […]<\/p>\n![\"kadr](\"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/image\/Milczaca_przyjaciolka_POST-819x1024.jpg\")
