A graduate of the Łódź Film School, deemed ‘a rising star of the art of cinematography’ by the prestigious American Cinematographer!

An article in the ‘American Cinematographer’, written by Jim Hemphlin, mentions ten cinematographers whose careers are worth following and calls them “rising stars” – among them is Kuba Kijowski, a graduate of the faculty of Film and Television Picture Production and Photography at the Film School in Łódź. The article ‘Rising stars of Cinematography’ appeared in the February issue of the magazine.

The author of the article points to Kuba Kijowski’s education at the “prestigious Film School in Łódź”, where he learnt from Witold Sobociński, Jerzy Wójcik and Jolanta Dylewska. As for the magazine, Jakub Kijowski said that the lecturers at the School taught him that the art of cinematography relies not on technical tricks, but on one’s ability to tell a story. For Kuba Kijowski – cinematographer – his professional initiation occurred on the set of Agnieszka Holland’s ‘In Darkness’. He was invited to work with the film’s cinematographer – Jolanta Dylewska. Kijowski underlined that he very much appreciated the opportunity to be part of an international team working on such a unique film.

‘American Cinematographer’ specifically highlights Kijowski’s work on ‘The Lure’ by Agnieszka Smoczyńska and he cites “I believe that finding the proper visual form for a story contributes to its success”. ‘The Lure’ aside, Kijowski’s filmography is comprised of the following features: ‘Secret’ by Przemysław Wojcieszek (Kijowski received an Andzrej Munk award from the Łódź Film School for his cinematography in this film) as well as ‘Floating Skyscrapers’ by Tomasz Wasilweski. American Cinematographer is a prestigious American magazine dedicated to the art of cinematography.
