Krzysztof Krauze is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Krzysztof Krauze as Polish film director (1953–2014).
Krzysztof Krauze was born at Warsaw in 1953. His recorded nationality is Poland. He trained at National Film School in Łódź.
This generation broke the studio mould - lighter cameras, location shooting, and directors who claimed authorship of the finished film.
Krzysztof Krauze is credited as film director, screenwriter and actor.
His name is attached above all to thriller The Debt. A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.
Formal recognition came in the shape of the Commander of the Order of Polonia Restituta and Officer of the Order of Polonia Restituta.
That the work was made from Poland shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.
Krzysztof Krauze died in 2014, aged 61. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
