Andrzej Sołtysik, a great production manager, graduate, and employee of the Lodz Film School, received the Polish Filmmakers Association Award. Among the honourees were other graduates of our school.
The Polish Filmmakers Association Awards have been presented since 2007. Their creation was guided by the idea, which remains true today, that the statuettes should go not only to those film professionals who are on the front lines – directors, screenwriters, cinematographers – but also to those who, while remaining somewhat in the shadows, have a huge impact on the final shape of a film – sound engineers, editors, set designers, and makeup artists.
The Polish Filmmakers Association Awards recognize lifetime artistic achievements. Their recipients have shaped the face of Polish film.
