The last weekend turned out to be exceptionally successful for us.
🎬 "A little bit of paradise," directed by Dr. Andrzej Cichocki, has won the award for Best Short Documentary Film at the Oslo Short Film Festival. This achievement marks his sixteenth award. Kudos to the director!
Cichocki, a lecturer at Kieslowski Film School, depicts the fate of a family that lives "in its own microcosm." Although the chimneys of the cityscape can be seen on the horizon, life happens there on a separate track without any need for words.
The film has so far won 16 awards. Among its many awards, it received the Silver 'Lajkonik' at the Krakow Film Festival as Best Polish Documentary. It was also nominated by the Polish Society of Cinematographers (PSC) in the Best Cinematography in a Documentary category. In addition, it earned a spot in the official selection of the acclaimed International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), the world's largest documentary film festival.
The week is off to a promising start! "The Field" by Tomasz Grzymala received an Honorable Mention for cinematography for a documentary short in the 9th Transparency Film Festival.
The jury's words of praise are as follows: For telling a story with image, proportion, contrast, and color, thanks to which the viewer is immersed in the depicted world with almost palpable intensity. For frames that could live as independent paintings.
The documentary tells the story of a cow farmer living in a remote region who discovers the existence of a hitherto unknown physical force. In order to investigate it, he constructs various measuring instruments and tries to solve the mystery that does not give him peace.
"The Field" will compete at filmPOLSKA in Berlin's Sputnik Cinema on September 9 at 20:00. In addition, at this year's edition of Przeźroczy, "Rocking Horses," directed by Marcin Lesisz and produced by Studio Munk, received an award. The film won the Grand Prix, sharing the honor with " Połączenia", directed by Ming-Wei Chiang. Lesisz also won the Audience Award for his documentary.

Main slide of the presentation titled Formy i gatunki telewizyjne
We're proud to announce that our second-year students in the Production and Television Organisation have created a compendium of knowledge about television practices and genres. The work, which has taken the form of a presentation, has over 200 slides.
Prof. Kazimierz Wolny-Zmorzyński, vice dean for education and students, offered scientific supervision. It is also worth noting that, in addition to citing statutory definitions, he attempted to delve into the question: format or genre?
The work, titled "Forms and Genres of Television," provides us with basic theoretical knowledge supported by practical examples. True to its title, it delves deeper into different genres in television, encompassing journalism (talk shows, reviews, reportages), film (documentary, gangster, spy, cut-out animation), theatre and stage (concert, benefit, pantomime), music (opera, ballet, song), and scientific and popular science (reconstruction, popular science fiction films).
In the presentation, you will find graphic and audiovisual materials to indicate the comparison of individual television forms, both domestic and foreign.
Here are the names of all the students who worked on the project: Aleksandra Kaczorowska, Aleksandra Murias, Amelia Zalewska, Artur Guzik, Bruno Bednarski, Dawid Małek, Dominika Uliszak, Jakub Jaskóła, Jakub Kaszny, Jakub Kawalec, Jan Sapiński, Jan Wierzbicki, Julia Charmuszko, Kalina Bienias, Kalina Głowińska, Kamil Warszawski, Kamila Kopczyńska, Kinga Swerczek, Konrad Mrozek, Laura Barańska, Lena Pach, Maciej Muszkatel, Maksymilian Małota, Małgorzata Gryko, Marcin Kamiński, Mikołaj Kalarus, Natalia Bąba, Patryk Polkowski, Patryk Zojdź, Piotr Janosz, Veronica Gigliotti, Zofia Nawrocka. Last but not least, Jan Klein did an exclusive role in handling the editorial work.
A hearty congratulations to all the students who participated in this massive project. The link below will enable you to familiarize yourself with the project. In addition, it's a valuable resource for anyone who is even remotely interested in television genres. Don't miss the opportunity to expand the horizons of your knowledge: link
