Marcel Łoziński Documentary Award

The Krakow Film Festival and the Polish Documentary Film Directors Guild have established the Marcel Łoziński Documentary Award – a distinction for filmmakers who, like the award’s patron, boldly push the boundaries of documentary cinema. In a world dominated by algorithms and ready-made formats, the prize recognises films that defy convention, steadfast in their honesty and creative vision. The award will be presented to documentary films that expand the artistic boundaries of the medium. Neither the film’s length, nor the director’s country of origin, nor whether they are an established figure or a newcomer bears any relevance. What matters is creative courage and a distinctive cinematic language. These were the hallmarks of Marcel Łoziński’s work throughout his entire life.
