Culture.pl<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nA film director born on 23 April 1984 in Katowice. He is a laureate of Golden Lions for directing 'The Last Family’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2010, he completed the documentary course at Andrzej Wajda Master School of Film Directing, while two years later defended a diploma at the directing faculty at Katowice Film School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The director was spotted along with his first short film Razem <\/strong>(Together) with Olga Bo\u0142\u0105d\u017a and Redbad Klynstra (2006) which was screened at the Film and Artistic Festival 'Lato Film\u00f3w’ in Toru\u0144. A year older Myjnia <\/strong>(Car Wash) brought him the Jan Machulski Polish Independent Cinema Prize in the best director category and the Grand Prix at the Polish Short Film Festival Short Waves. His further fictional short films \u2013 15 lat milczenia <\/strong>(15 Years of Silence, 2007), about a mime study group, Wiem kto to zrobi\u0142 <\/strong>(I Know Who Did It, 2008) and the psychological drama Afterparty <\/strong>(2009) \u2013 only proved versatile style and great workshop of the young director. Offline <\/strong>(2012), which was created within the framework of the ’30min’ program, explored the contemporarily important theme of online dating and false identities in the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAn interesting theme was brought up by Matuszy\u0144ski in his first tv documentary \u2013 the protagonists of Amisze znad Wis\u0142y <\/strong>(Amishes from Above Vistula, 2010) is an American pair which belonging to the titular Christian congregation, decided to come to Poland a dozen or so years ago. Niebo <\/strong>(Heaven, 2011) was realised within the framework of the First Documentary program; it tells a story of a critically ill man who finds sense in his life in writing icons. Great passion which can overshadow every physical weakness came back as a subject of Deep Love <\/strong>(2013) which was awarded at the Krak\u00f3w Film Festival and the MFF in Moscow. The film talks about a 50-year-old diver who looses his fitness in effect of a stroke. The paralysed man dreams of coming back into water, his girlfriend helps him to recover and contact the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMatuszy\u0144ski’s next professional step was largely motivated by his family situation. As he said in an interview for Onet<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\nAbout three years ago, shortly after the premiere of my first film entitled Deep Love, my son was born. With my wife being pregnant, I thought about creating a film about family relations. The Beksi\u0144ski family answered my needs \u2013 Robert Bolesto’s script got into my hands at the right time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, Poland\u2019s cinema screens have been hit with a plethora of adaptations of contemporary Polish novels, non-fiction and more. By now, new takes on the latest in its literature rule the country\u2019s film and television world \u2013 and still more are on the way. What drives Polish filmmakers to the present-day page for inspiration?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The choice of the script came out to be a great success. The Last Family <\/strong>is among the most important Polish films of 2016. The film launched its path of glory in Locarno where Andrzej Seweryn received a Prize for Best Performance. In following months, the film triumphed in Chicago, Kiev and Gdynia where Matuszy\u0144ski received the Grand Prix, Audience Award and Journalists Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFilmography<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- 2006 \u2013 Razem<\/strong> (Together, short film at school)<\/li>
