Gold for Dad’s not home in New York! 🏆

Reporting straight from New York: Dad’s not home directed by Jan Saczek has won Gold in the Narrative category at the 52nd Student Academy Awards!

This prestigious award, often referred to as the Student Oscar, has many times opened the door to the “real” Oscars – and we hope this will be the case again.

It is a tremendous achievement for the entire team, because films are always made together. Congratulations go not only to the director but also to the whole crew: Patryk Roman (cinematography), Lidia Le Thanh (production management), and all the others who worked on the film. 👏

It is also a success for our faculty – the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School at the University of Silesia. Just last year, Take me to her (Open Fracture) by Bartłomiej Błaszczyński reached the finals, and today we celebrate the top award!

The award ceremony took place on October 6 in New York and was broadcast live – the full recording is available on the Oscars YouTube channel.
