Among the winners of Awards of the Polish Society of Cinematographers (PSC) are two productions by Telemark: Best Cinematography in a Series Episode to Bartłomiej Kaczmarek for “Heweliusz” and Best Cinematography in a Documentary Film to Stanisław Cuske for “Silver.” High five Bartek and the entire camera department, high five Staś!
At Telemark, we believe that film has the power to change reality. That’s why we engage with important issues and tell their stories through powerful, moving projects. “Women and War,” directed by Elwira Niewiera and produced by Maciej Kubicki (Telemark), is another step on this path. The project will be accompanied by an impact campaign, which we discussed during Impact Days at the FIFDH Geneva festival. We would like to thank our co-producers for their trust and shared journey: PISF, MX35 TVP, Art Dialogue, the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation, and Ventana Films.
Two nominations: PSC Award for Best Cinematography in a Series Episode - to Bartłomiej Kaczmarek - HEWELIUSZ and PSC Award for Best Cinematography in a Documentary to Stanisław Cuske - SILVER. Fingers crossed!
With "The Stroke. A Dramedy" set to premiere on Viaplay in the US and UK in just a few days, we’re already delighted by its enthusiastic reception among critics, who have praised it as a “witty satire of the artistic elite” and a “remarkable blend of devastating sadness and black humor.” Such positive reviews affirm the strength and originality of the series, as well as its ability to tackle difficult themes in a fresh and bold way.
We’re incredibly happy and deeply grateful to everyone who was part of this adventure — the Creators, Crew, Partners, and Netflix! This is a success we all share! Thank You for all the votes, warm words and congratulations. Polski Instytut Sztuki Filmowej | Netflix
