Prof. Rafał Milach, Kieślowski Film School lecturer, has gained membership in Magnum Photos. Founded in 1947, Magnum Photos is a photo agency characterized by its distinct styles. Its members are from different parts of the world, and they provide unique insights into the least-explored social and political realities.

Prof. Milach received the nomination for membership in 2018. However, it was during the 76th general meeting that happened last week that the collegiate body took the decision to confer on him permanent membership.

We are extremely privileged to have the photographs of our lecturer appreciated by one of the best photo agencies in the world. We've put together some beautiful works for you to enjoy.

The Norwegian premiere of the documentary film "Draugen", directed by prof. Dagmara Drzazga, lecturer at the Kieślowski Film School, was held in Kvitsøy on Thursday, June 22.

The film focuses on Wojciech Bogadoł, a man from Mikołów conscripted into the Wehrmacht. The Germans sent him to Norway, and he eventually found himself in Kvitsøy, where he discovered love. A Norwegian family embraced him as their own. With time, Wojciech entered the underground because he swore in Poland that he would not "serve the Germans".

The premiere, held at the Historical Center, was attended by the town community. The filmmakers, who had visited the town four years ago to take photographs for the documentary, were welcomed with open arms because the story depicted in the film is still something close to the hearts of the townspeople.
