About the director:
Andrzej Kondratiuk (born July 20, 1936 in Pinsk, Poland) is a Polish film director, screenwriter, actor and cinematographer.
Kondratiuk is famous for low-budget films, in scenarios he often uses threads from his own biography and, often chooses people from his immediate circle of friends as actors. Kondratiuk's place in the Polish film has always been very separate and unique. He always takes total responsibility for his movies, not only as the director, and screenwriter but also as a camera operator, music director, editor, and production designer.
Although some of his early films, such as "Hydrozagadka", "Jak to sie robi" and "Wniebowzieci", are classified as a cult movie, they have never been a box office hits. On the other hand, his works have always received critical acclaim. Character of his films, with their melancholy and warm relationship to the heroes, make them sometimes similar to works of the Czech Film School.
