Sławomir Idziak

Polish cinematographer and director

Sławomir Idziak is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Sławomir Idziak as Polish cinematographer and director.

Sławomir Idziak was born at Katowice in 1945. 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.

He worked as cinematographer, screenwriter and film director.

His name is attached above all to works in Polish and foreign films. A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.

Recognition followed: Officer of the Order of Polonia Restituta (2012).

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.
