PAWEŁ ŁOZIŃSKI INVITED TO JOIN THE ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURE ARTS AND SCIENCES

Five Polish filmmakers and film professionals have received invitations to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization behind the Oscars. Among the 529 film industry representatives from around the world invited this year is Paweł Łoziński, who has been invited to join the Academy’s Documentary Branch.

This is a significant distinction for one of Poland’s most compelling documentary filmmakers. For years, Łoziński’s work has focused on people, their everyday lives, relationships and seemingly minor experiences that, in fact, reveal broader social and emotional dimensions of reality. His invitation to join the Academy reflects international recognition of his body of work and of the important place Polish documentary cinema holds on the global stage.

Paweł Łoziński is the director of acclaimed documentary films that have been screened and won awards around the world, including “Birthplace”, “Sisters”, “The Way It Is” “Father and Son”, “Chemo”, “You Have No Idea How Much I Love You” and “The Balcony Movie”.

Łoziński is joined by costume designer Katarzyna Lewińska, composer Hania Rani, animation filmmaker Andrzej Radka, and Maciek Szczerbowski, who has been invited to join both the Animation and Short Films branches.
