filmPOLSKA

As our contribution to the 7th Polish film festival in Berlin – filmPOLSKA – which is taking place from 12. to 18. April in different cinemas in the capital and Potsdam, we at Arsenal are putting the spotlight on Polish camera operators for the third time running. This year, we are pleased to welcome Bogdan Dziworski and Wojciech Staroń, who will each present their camera and directing work on two evenings. Bogdan Dziworski, who has made well over 40 films, started working as a cameraman and photographer in the mid-1960s, and soon afterwards started directing too. He focuses particularly on documentary in his work, and in the 1970s and 80s, he made films for the renowned Wytwórnia Filmów Oświatowych (Educational Film Studio) in Łódź. He also later worked as a cameraman for a BBC series of films about the former Soviet Union. His photographs have received great acclaim in a series of exhibitions and publications. Dziworski always has a number of projects on the go at once and is also the dean of Radio & TV department of the University of Silesia in Katowice.
