We are proud to share another success of our faculty’s alumni!

The music video for Baranovski’s “Iskry”, directed by Julian Tałandziewicz, with cinematography by Igor Połaniewicz and produced by Gosia Turek, has been nominated for the 10th anniversary edition of Press Magazine’s Grand Video Awards. This is a national competition that promotes the most creative, original, and innovative audiovisual work.

This is Julian’s third consecutive nomination, and the second this year for the “Iskry” project, which also received a special mention at the prestigious Berlin Music Video Awards. Until October 15th, viewers can vote for their favorite video from the 47 nominees in this year’s competition. The video with the most votes will receive the Audience Award.

It’s worth noting that the selection and results of the Grand Video Awards are determined by a professional jury made up of specialists in television and film production, social media experts, and advertising agency professionals.

We are proud to announce that the film My only enemy, directed by Piotr Bieliński, has been selected for the prestigious Tehran International Short Film Festival (TISFF)! Congratulations to the filmmakers, and we wish them success in the competition.

This year is particularly special for us, as two short films from our School have been selected for the festival. In addition to Piotr Bieliński's film, Victim of the Moon by Piotr Szubra will also be featured in the official selection.

The TISFF will take place from October 18–23, 2024, and is one of the most renowned events dedicated to short films worldwide. With over 15,000 submissions from 150 countries, only 0.06% of films made it into the selection, making this recognition even more significant. Moreover, a win at TISFF opens the door to Oscar nominations, adding further importance to this achievement.

🎬 My only enemy | Directed by Piotr Bieliński | Cinematography by Jan Barszczewski | Production Management by Aleksandra Gajdosz | Produced by the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School, University of Silesia

Once again, congratulations to our filmmakers, and we are rooting for their success in Tehran!
