Forgotten Polish Oscar Winners: A Special Evening with Prof. Andrzej Krakowski i NYC

Prof. Andrzej Krakowski, a renowned filmmaker, screenwriter, producer, and professor of Film at the City University of New York (CUNY), will explore the stories of Polish artists and filmmakers who have made significant contributions to Hollywood and the Academy Awards, yet whose accomplishments have often been overlooked or forgotten over time. Drawing from his extensive research and experience in the film industry, Prof. Krakowski will shed light on these underappreciated figures, their groundbreaking work, and their influence on cinema globally.

As a filmmaker, Krakowski has worked on over fifty films and television series, earning multiple awards and recognition throughout his career. His deep ties to Polish and American cinema provide a unique perspective to enrich the discussion. His lecture is expected to cover notable yet lesser-known Polish Oscar winners in various categories, from directors and actors to behind-the-scenes talents like cinematographers, costume designers, and composers, whose work has shaped the global film landscape.

The event will also include a Q&A session, during which guests can engage directly with Prof. Krakowski and gain deeper insights into the rich heritage of Polish contributions to the Academy Awards and the challenges faced by these unsung heroes of Film.

The evening promises to be an engaging and educational experience for film enthusiasts, historians, and anyone interested in Polish culture and the legacy of Polish artists in Hollywood.
