“Don Juan,” directed by Jerzy \u015aladkowski, won the VPRO IDFA Award – the main prize in the feature-length film competition. The Swedish-Finnish co-production is a portrait of 22-year-old Oleg, suffering from autism, whose mother tries various ways to encourage him to be “a real man.” Wojciech Staro\u0144 is responsible for the cinematography in the film, and Agnieszka Bojanowska and Jakub \u015aladkowski – for the editing.<\/p>\n
For several years, Jerzy \u015aladkowski divides his time between Poland and Sweden, where he lives and works. He is often the guest of Krakow Film Festival, he sat on the jury twice (in 2008 and in 2014), and at the 55th edition, together with his son Kuba, he acted as a DJ during the Industry Party.\u00a0<\/p>\n
