Błażej Moder – the director of EC1 Łódź “City of Culture”, was another one who gave a speech. He said that the first phone he had picked up after becoming a director, was an offer to collaborate with LMF. What fruit has it born? Inhabitants of Łódź will have a chance to find out in the second week of October, when the space of EC1 will be open for the first time to a bigger audience. The director Moder wittily reacted to the collaboration by changing the name of EC1 to EC1 “City of Light”.
This is the place where the official beginning of LMF will take place on Friday – 9th of October at 18:45. There will also be a science conference “Light and Colour in Architecture and public spaces – about conscious creation of image of a city”. The conference is targeted at every social group having real influence on shaping the image and development of the city, workers from the whole administration ladder , designers – architects, urban planners, artists, members of associations, foundations, social and administration organizations.
During the press conference the topic of projections and mappings 2D/3D was revealed. These actions will take place in a former congeneration plant.

A newly revealed event is a play – Imaginarium – a multimedia show with dance and acrobatic elements performed by the V6 Theatre. The play inspired by industrial atmosphere of Łódź, connects unlimited possibilities of light and sound technique, the power of massive michines, precision and strength of acrobats, courage of stuntmen, delicacy of dancers and glitter of outfits. The creator and progenitor of the play is Tomasz Filipiak – the director and founder of the V6 Theatre, was present on the conference. V6 Theatre is coming out with the play beyond theatre walls to provide us with unforgettable experience creating a play on international level.

The inaugural conference (03.09.2015)
On Thursday (3rd September), Lux Pro Monumentis Foundation – the organiser of the Kinetic’s Light Art Festival – Light.Move.Festival, along with the Łódź City and the Łódź Events Centre arranged an inaugural conference concerning the 5th edition of Light.Move.Festival. During the conference this year’s visual identity created by the MOSQi.TOAgencycame out. The conference was opened by Izabela Zbonikowska, head of the Łódź Events Centre. She pointed out that since the very beginning the ŁEC has been dynamically cooperating with the Festival as an important and valuable event on Łodź’s cultural map. It made us feel very nice. On behalf of the city, Mrs Zbonikowska sincerely invited to the Light.Move.Festival in Łódź. We have been collaborating with the City of Łódź over the last few months on a capable course of the festival. Our Foundation was represented by Beata Konieczniak – Artistic Creator of the Festival and the chairwoman of the Council of Lux Pro Monumentis Foundation. Under the hailstorm of questions she got, Mrs Konieczniak revealed the 5th editions’ mysteries which were strictly guarded up till now. Our dreams are about to come true – Light.Move.Festival is going to enter into the city in much stronger way than ever. On Piotrkowska, Tuwim, Sienkiewicz, Traugutt, Moniuszko streets, on Rubinstein’s and Schiller’s passageways, in the Sienkiewicz’s Park. We were surprised by the information that this year our deeply appreciated Plac Wolności will not be an arena for large-format shows. The amazement quickly disappeared under another news – the area of a revitalized power plant EC1 is going to be a an urban amphitheatre and the centre of events of this year’s edition. Creator of the Festival emotionally told about the Foundation’s involvement in activity aiming at promotion and creation of Łódź’s night image. Numbers have already shown a lot of information about this year’s edition: 20 000 m2 of lit elevations, 900 displays of large-fromat projections or 10 km routes for the visitors. The inaugural conference was also an opportunity to present the visual identity of LMF 2015. Wojtek Walas and Maciek Wiśniewski, the representatives of MOSQi.TOAgency, told the journalists about the inspirations – light, sound and EC1. On behalf of Lux Pro Momunemtis Foundation we thank the City of Łódź and the Łódź Events Centre for cooperation, MOSQi.TOAgency for a great project and the journalists for coming and a motivational discussion. We are flinging ourselves into work and we invite for the next press conference on September 24th.
