We regret to inform you that on March 7, 2022, Ernest Wilde, the Deputy Dean for Education and Student Affairs of the Kieślowski Film School, has passed away.

The Deputy Dean has been associated with our faculty for over 40 years. He was well liked, and he was especially concerned about the well-being of his students. The classes he conducted were among the highest rated. Always full of energy, he brilliantly commented on the surrounding reality. He was our friend and mentor.

It is an invaluable loss for the Film School and the entire University of Silesia. Repeatedly awarded with the Prize of the Rector of the University of Silesia for teaching and organizational achievements, three times nominated for the Student Laurel.

It is commonly believed that there are no irreplaceable people. Today, in this difficult moment, we are not able to imagine that anyone could fill the void left by the Deputy Dean...
