Malgorzata Szumowska (1973) and Michal Englert (1975) have been working together since their years at Lódz’s famed film school. After a series of short movies that soon revealed Szumowska as a valuable new voice, she directed her debut feature, Happy Man (2000). From here she begins a solid and abundant filmography in collaboration with Michal Englert, present in all major competitions, of which stand out titles such as Elles, starring Juliette Binoche; Body, Best Director at the Berlinale; or Mug, Grand Prize of the Jury at the same festival. In 2023, their last film Woman of… was presented at the Venice Film Festival in the main competition.
