The success of the task carried out by the Warsaw Film School for more than 18 years – the production of student films – is proven by the international careers of its graduates, the growing number of applicants each year and the two Academy Award® nominations. The students demonstrated their craft not only in terms of the number of etudes prepared, but above all in terms of quality.
