We are pleased to announce that the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School of the University of Silesia in Katowice has expanded its technical resources with a modern lighting kit from Nanlite, which is already part of our equipment and will support students during film productions!
In collaboration with Focus Nordic, the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School of the University of Silesia in Katowice has purchased a Nanlite lighting kit, consisting of 14 lamps with varying power and characteristics. This new equipment allows students to work with state-of-the-art gear used on professional film sets!
The set was configured by Prof. Paweł Chorzępa, PhD, and its purchase was financed from the IBDA budget.
We are proud and delighted to announce that the book Już po by our student Natalia Cichosz has been selected as a finalist in the Photographic Publication of the Year competition and is part of the Fotofestiwal Lodz exhibition!
This is a tremendous honor for a deeply personal and moving project that Natalia has worked on with great sensitivity and dedication.
The project was developed as part of classes led by Prof. Rafał Milach, PhD — photographer, visual artist, and educator affiliated with our university. His guidance and experience played a key role in shaping the book and refining its visual narrative.
You can see the book in person at Fotofestiwal 2025, which runs until June 22 in Łódź. Don’t miss this exceptional exhibition!
DECEMBER by our graduate and PhD student Grzegorz Paprzycki at Sheffield DocFest!
"DECEMBER" is a creative documentary film about the humanitarian crisis on Poland’s eastern border. December on the Polish-Belarusian frontier is portrayed as a month of stark contrasts: a time of holidays, family warmth, and solidarity, as well as unrestrained consumerism and the unfolding drama in the freezing nature of the border forests.
The film will be screened with Q&A sessions on the following dates:
June 19 at 8:45 PM GMT
June 20 at 1:15 PM GMT
The festival takes place from June 18 to 23, 2025, in Sheffield.
We are pleased to announce that on Friday, June 13th, during the ceremonial celebrations of the 57th anniversary of the University of Silesia, honorary awards were presented in recognition of outstanding scientific and artistic achievements of the university staff. Among the awardees was Prof. Krystyna Doktorowicz, who received the award from the hands of the Rector of the University of Silesia, Prof. Ryszard Koziołek.
Last Friday was an exceptionally successful day for the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School, as even before the evening concert at the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music Concert Hall in Katowice, the Rector’s awards were presented!
Among the award recipients were our students:
🏅 Kacper Anaczkowski – for his artistic achievements and cultural involvement as a student of Film and Television Production Organization. He has produced, among others, 13 short films, in which he served as production manager.
🏅 Katarzyna Flegel – for her social work as a student of Film and Television Production Organization. She is actively involved with the Katowice-based Wolne Miejsce Foundation, participating in the organization of events primarily aimed at people struggling with loneliness.
In addition, the ceremonial gala was hosted by our faculty’s students – Lidia Le Thanh and Maciej Idczak. Thank you for your dedication!
The entire celebration was highlighted by the academic concert "Silesia – New Eden."
We extend our heartfelt congratulations and admiration to the Dean and our students. We wish you continued success and thank you for giving us reasons to be proud!
