Our graduate has become a member of The Academy!


Did you know that after graduating from the Warsaw Film School, you can even become members of The Academy? Our graduate and lecturer, Tadeusz Łysiak, was invited to join  The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
 
The director and screenwriter of the Oscar-nominated "The Dress" will decide on the awards in the short films and animated feature films categories. We hope that our productions will appear on his ballot in the future.

Tadeusz recently gave an interview for the Court-circuit program, which presents the best shorts from around the world (link HERE). The viewers could also watch our film "The Dress" on the Arte TV website.
 

Another creator from Poland will join the group of new members of The Academy – director, screenwriter and producer – Małgorzata Szumowska. She, in turn, will join the screenwriters branch.

Our warmest congratulations!

 

THE DRESS

 

 

 

Julia lives in the Polish countryside. Her music is death metal. Her favorite pastime: playing on slot machines. She works at a wayside motel for drivers. She’s lonely, she never had a man, never experienced physicality. Julia is short stature and her entire life is dictated by her height – the local community can’t seem to accept her different appearance. Everything changes, when she crosses paths with a handsome truck driver. Their eyes meet. Julia’s heart beats faster. The man soon becomes the object of her loving, almost erotic obsession...
