more than a film school | more than a film studio

It’s based on film groups tradition and experience – method of group working and co-operation of different generations. We offer a unique combination of production and education for film professionals.
In 2011 Wajda and Marczewski opened the production company - Wajda Studio. We focus on development stage and support our directors with artistic supervision from the best Polish and European filmmakers. We are looking for author- driven feature, documentary and short film projects which bring up contemporary issues. We are concentrated on international cooperation and co-productions.
