Designed by Joanna Jopkiewicz and published by Wydawnictwo Warstwy, this book uses the typefaces RL Grot and Cardea to support its thoughtful and cinematic narrative.
Te wszystkie Raje, Zrywy i Jutrzenki. O małych kinach na Dolnym Śląsku (“All Those Paradises, Uprisings, and Dawns. About Small Cinemas in Lower Silesia”) was released exactly 130 years after the first paid film screening using the Lumière brothers’ cinematograph. Created out of a deep affection for cinema, this publication by Lech Moliński and Jerzy Wypych explores the intertwined histories of film, region, and the shared experience of watching movies.

Lech Moliński’s twelve essays document the cultural role and unique atmosphere of small-town cinemas in Lower Silesia, places like Bystrzyca, Dzierżoniów, Lubomierz, and Złotoryja. The texts combine historical research with personal reflections on the enduring magic of local cinema spaces. Complementing the writing is Jerzy Wypych’s photographic essay, which forms an independent visual narrative. His photographs, taken entirely in and around the cinemas visited during the making of the book, seek to reinterpret rather than simply illustrate the stories told, capturing the fleeting, multisensory nature of the cinematic experience.

This is an important book for lovers of film, regional history, and the emotional and architectural legacy of cinema halls, those that are gone, those that remain, and those still to come.
