Residents of the county most often go to Kino Forum to watch Polish films. The most-watched films in 2018 were:

Kino Forum also has an active Film Discussion Club with passes that reduce the ticket price for an outstanding film to PLN 5. In 2018, more than 3,000 passes were sold (1,000 more than in 2017). The NHEF film education programme was also used by 2,000 more children and young people; in 2018, there were 6,454 viewers, while in 2017, 4,394 people took part in the programme.
“This is primarily the success of residents who go to the cinema and choose this way of spending their free time,” says the director of BOK – MCC. “It is also the result of an excellent selection of films that appeal to viewers and good premiere planning—in other words, good management of the cinema by BOK – MCC employee Ewa Chrobot,” adds Ewa Lijewska-Małachowska.
The attendance figures apply exclusively to Kino Forum and exclude screenings at the CIK Orzeł Cinema Sofa. The number of viewers consists of sold tickets (98,597) and sold passes (13,238).

Programme
A significant part of the programme consists of more ambitious European and Polish productions. We also do not forget about good commercial cinema. Our idea includes presenting good, interesting, often bold and controversial works; bringing film classics closer to audiences, as well as independent productions. Kino Forum is also a place where film retrospectives, premieres and festivals are held.
