Biography

His body of work includes short films like Silent Night (2024), which tells the story of a deaf woman from Lebanon who finds her first job in London, in a place where no one knows sign language, and A Knight (2023), which depicts a mysterious masked knight whose visit to the Nobleman's manor provokes confrontation between two different visions of human rights. Whether it's commercial or music video, his style looks to find new ways of exploring visual opportunities, always with a human at its core. Back in Poland, being able to study and work with people from Krzysztof Kieslowski Film School and Lodz Film School was a crucial step in finding his own, independent voice. Later, working with people from around the world at London Film Academy hardened his conviction that cinema is truly a universal language. Michal currently lives in London, where he is in the early stages of putting together his debut feature, besides working on several projects as a director and making behind-the-scenes photography on various film sets.
