JERZY SKOLIMOWSKI (born 1938)

Skolimowski won his first award at the Berlin International Film Festival for The Departure in 1967. Since then he has gone on to win over twenty more across the span of his career; the latest being for 11 Minutes in 2015 at both the Lisbon & Estoril, and Venice Film festivals. As if this wasn't impressive enough, factor in his sixteen-year directorial hiatus during that time, and Skolimowski stands out as one of the great Polish filmmaker success stories.

Skolimowski was a special guest of the opening of the 14th KINOTEKA Polish Film Festival. The event opened with a screening of his latesr "11 Minutes" followed by the Q&A.
