Biography
Jan Jakub Kolski (b. 1956, Wrocław) has long been one of Poland’s most intriguing directors. Although he graduated in camera, he writes the scripts for his movies and has also made a name for himself as a prose writer. His films have been shown at festivals in Cannes (Funeral for a Potato / Pogrzeb kartofla, 1990), Tokyo (The Commander’s Sword / Szabla od komendanta, 1995), and Venice in 2003, where he competed with Pornography (Pornografia). Karlovy Vary audiences know Far from the Window (Daleko od okna) and History of Cinema in Popielawy (Historia kina w Popielawach, 1998), both of which competed for the East of the West section prize. Kolski often takes inspiration from the region of his childhood, embellishing it with a dreamlike quality where his ambiguous protagonists play out their roles.
