We've coined Łódź as PL's 'City of Cinema' for good reason - first and foremost is the famous film school (its pedigree including genre greats like Wajda, Kieślowski and Polański), which has made cinema a cottage industry and cultural cornerstone in Łódź, epitomised by EC1. Łódź possesses a number of independent art-house cinemas; for the latest Hollywood blockbusters, however, visit one of the shopping mall multiplexes like Cinema City in Manufaktura. Polish cinemas show international releases in their original language with Polish subtitles. Be warned, however, that most animated films - including those for adults - will be dubbed.
