It is hard to imagine Polish science fiction without Maciej Parowski. He was the editor-in-chief of the Polish iconic monthly "Fantastyka" who stood behind the success of a few generations of authors. First, he was head of a student weekly "Politechnik" and then he moved on to head the editorial board of "Fantastyka". There, he published the first texts written by Andrzej Sapkowski, Marek S. Huberath or Jacek Dukaj. To become an editor, he had to kill an author in himself. People from across Poland were sending their texts to him. If it had not been for him, no one knows what would have happened to "The Witcher" or "The Cathedral", an Oscar-winning picture by Tomas Bagiński. This film tells the story of the Polish science fiction genre ranging from literature, through comic books, to games.
