This Special Award which was granted to Ewa Braun in appreciation of her film and pedagogical achievements was announced at the closing Gala of the 25th Etiuda&Anima International Film Festival in Krakow. Ewa Braun has conducted a stage and costume design and make-up workshop at our school for many years, bringing together students from all faculties of our school. Each workshop is a journey to another time, different fashion and style, and at the same time, a new challenge for our students, whose task is to reflect those times in their short films. At the Kijów cinema, where the festival takes place, you can see an exhibition of photos from various workshops, as well as the films made during the workshops.

Our warm congratulations to Mrs Ewa Braun!
