KRZYSZTOF KIEŚLOWSKI
Krzysztof Kieślowski (1941-1996) - film director and script writer. His career
started in 1966 with short films, for example 'Workers '71' (1972) and 'Resume'
(1975). His subsequent films brought him his first film festival awards, for 'The Scar' (1976) from the Gdańsk festival and 'Camera Buff' (1979) awarded
in Moscow and Chicago. However, the 'Ten Commandments I - X' made in 1988-89
marked his permanent position in the film world (the FIPRESCI award). He had similar
successes with 'The Double Life of Veronique' (1991), 'Three Colours: Blue'
(won the Golden Lion in Venice), 'Three colours: white' (Silver Bear in Berlin)
and 'Three Colours: Red' (nominated for an Oscar), made in 1993-94 by a Polish and French team. He won dozens of awards and distinctions for his work in film,
for example the Felix from the European Film Academy.
