Malwina Bogusławska
Comes from Ciechocinek, a spa town in Kujawy. Lives in Poznań, where she studies Film Theory at the faculty of Polish Philology at the Adam Mickiewicz University. After lectures she works in one of the multiplexes in Poznań, therefore she has constant contact with film viewers and their expectations. Her main field of interest is popular cinema (current repertoire) and the issue of cinema from a sociological perspective. In films, she is looking for magic, colours, emotions and, most importantly of all, for interesting stories.
Marcin Zwolan
Has lived in Słupsk since birth and for about the last ten years has been attending schools there. He used to play the piano and the guitar. He got interested in films some time after primary school. It started with horror films, from psycho thrillers to ghosts. Little by little, he studied cinematography more and more deeply, in the meantime shooting his first amateur films. Yet, his knowledge of film art would not be what it is today without his participation in the Słupsk Municipal Cultural Centre’s film club and the lectures of Mrs. Szczepłocka. So far he is not bored with film at all. As of today the people he admires the most are: Paul Thomas Anderson, Claude Chabrol, Mike Leigh, Roman Polański and Luis Buñuel.
Monika Rudzik
Studies Film Theory and Culture. Interested in cinema from both theoretical and practical perspectives. A fan of popular cinema, especially classic horror movies and musicals. Likes when somebody plays with conventions, which is why she rates highly Tim Burton, Quentin Tarantino and Stanley Kubrick. In films, she is looking for attention-grabbing stories as well as interesting formal solutions.
