River divides Kazimierz and Janowiec but only geographically. "The Festival is an excellent occasion for both towns to cooperate" - says Grzegorz Dunia, the major of Kazimierz Dolny. Filip, one of the Janowiec dwellers, agrees: "It's become a public holiday in this little town. Not only can you see films in picturesque surroundings but also meet a lot of interesting people visiting our hometown". However Ania, his peer, has a rather different opinion: "The festival programme definitely favors Kazimierz. Only a thin line joins our towns together" - she regrets. The only cinema in Janowiec has been closed fifteen years ago. The "Two Riversides" Festival is a chance to have closer contact both with the art of cinema and its authors. It's a real celebration of cinema" - says Tadeusz Kocoń, prefect of Janowiec commune.
The Janowiec Castle will turn into an outdoor cinema for more than a week. "Throughout the whole week at 9 o'clock in the evening we will be projecting movies from the "I Love Cinema" section. Next to new pictures like '33 Scenes from Life' or 'Gomorra', festival audience will have a chance to see cinema classics including Kurosawa's 'Derusu Uzara' and 'Moscow Distrusts Tears'"- recommends Ania Stadnik from the programme section.
