We invite you to the 10 Poznan marathon - 11.10.2009



Marathon's Map - Hostel8 position marked by the red spot on the map.

Come to Poznan and start in the biggest marathon in Poland!

* Medals and certificates for all finishers
* Isotonic bewerages on the course
* All finishers can win a car in the lottery draw

New route of the Poznań Marathon - even flatter!

After consultations with the city authorities of Poznań, the Municipal Roads Authorities and the police, as well as taking into account the marathon runners' suggestions, the current route has undergone considerable modifications, thanks to which we have managed to create an even better route for the Poznań marathon.

The route also covers 2 loops, however its cross-section is much more convenient to break life's records.

We have also made it attractive, so that the competitors could have a chance to see the Cathedral, the Poznań Crosses, the Castle or the Old Brewery, while running along the route.

18.09.2009 - The Night of the Living Dead Night


Night of the Living Dead, directed by George Romero, is a 1968 independent black-and-white zombie film. Ben (Duane Jones) and Barbara (Judith O'Dea) are the protagonists of a story about the mysterious reanimation of the recently dead, and their efforts, along with five other people, to survive the night while trapped in a rural Pennsylvania farmhouse.

George Romero completed the film on a $114,000 budget, and after a decade of cinematic re-releases, it grossed some $12 million domestically and $30 million internationally. On its release in 1968, Night of the Living Dead was strongly criticized for its explicit content, but in 1999, the Library of Congress placed it on the National Film Registry as a film deemed "historically, culturally or aesthetically important".

Night of the Living Dead was cited by many as being a groundbreaking film, given its release during the Vietnam-era, due to perceived critiques of late-1960s U.S. society; a historian described it as "subversive on many levels". Although it is not the first zombie film, Night of the Living Dead is the progenitor of the contemporary 'zombie apocalypse' sub-genre of horror film, and it influenced the modern pop-culture zombie archetype. Night of the Living Dead (1968), is the first of six Dead films directed by George Romero, and twice has been remade, as a film of the same name in 1990, directed by Tom Savini, and as Night of the Living Dead 3D in 2006.

The Film will be presented in the basement of Hostel8 at 20:00.
We will also screen some meshups made by the film enthusiasts :)
