Lech Moliński
Cultural animator, event organizer, occasionally a journalist, co-founder, and president of the Wrocław Film Foundation. Has been involved in MIASTOmovie since the beginning, and is engaged in most of the foundation’s activities. In July 2022, the book he co-authored with Jerzy Wypych was published, entitled “Nobody’s calling, everyone remembers. Lower Silesia in Film” (Warstwy Publishing House).
What he enjoys most is sitting on steps or curbs on summer evenings, experiencing a provincial vibe with an urban flair. Also riding scenic cycle routes in the city and in nature, and being in the vicinity of the simple but aesthetically pleasing and functional architecture of pre-war modernism, like Sępolno or Książe Małe.
He dislikes cities with no communal spaces and boring streets designed for cars.
Anka Bieliz
Cultural animator and manager, a graduate of several more and less exciting faculties at the University of Wrocław. On a daily basis, she is a leader of the municipal Microgrants program of the Wrocław Institute of Culture. She has been co-creating MIASTOmovie since 2014. She is involved in numerous local animation, educational, and cultural social projects. Enthusiast of “neighborhood Wrocław”, open to every kind of inter-sectoral cooperation.
She likes big cities the most, especially those planned in the “German way”, with cycle highways, where she can concentrate on observing the buildings instead of watching out for other traffic participants.
She doesn’t like high curbs, poor quality, uninteresting housing construction, and over-photoshopped architectural photos.

Head of communication and promotion at the Wrocław Institute of Culture, spokesperson for a number of cultural events. Long-time radio presenter. He likes precious materials, architectural decorations, and smart lettering.
He enjoys architecture that is loud and full of splendor and theatrical expression, but also one that is subtle, elegant, and non-ostentatious.
He dislikes overscaled projects, small rooms, the fetishization of authenticity, the Bauma paving block, and kitchenettes.

She has been involved with the Regime association since 2015 and also collaborates with the Millennium Docs Against Gravity festival in Wrocław.
She likes all shades of grey, the coolness coming from the basement grilles in the summer, rough surfaces, wide window sills, and narrow streets.
She is not keen on dominant white, low ceilings, information boards, and symmetry.

She loves exploring new places and being on the move, as much as she appreciates slow life. She enjoys Solpol colors, wild green areas in the city, and vast spaces between tall buildings.
She dislikes dodgy cycle paths and dreary revitalization projects, like the market square in Kutno.

He has coordinated and promoted socio-cultural projects for the Strefa Kultury Wrocław and co-created the Uczulenie club. Member of the Wrocław Film Foundation and MIASTOmovie team since 2020.
More than anything, he likes spaces where the needs of all users are considered, public transport as an alternative to the car, the evening bustle in front of crowded bars, and architecture that goes beyond anthropocentrism.
He dislikes duplicating bad solutions in spatial design and choosing sloppiness over something new and interesting.
