Zdzisław Jaskuła, a poet, director, translator, publisher, the director of the Lodz Nowy Theatre, was also a screenwriting and direction lecturer at our school. For many years he supported the Drama Schools’ Festival organized by the Lodz Film School, the festival which staged its plays at the Nowy Theatre. Today, we say our farewell to one of the most significant representatives of Lodz culture life, the person who was engaged in many school's artistic endeavors and was simply the school's friend.
