Paweł Pawlikowski was born in Warsaw in 1957. He studied Literature and Philosophy in London and Oxford. He made many award-winning documentaries in the late 1980s and early 1990s, such as FROM MOSCOW TO PIETUSHKI (1990), DOSTOEVSKY’S TRAVELS (1991), SERBIAN EPICS (1992), and TRIPPING WITH ZHIRINOVSKY (1995). After documentaries, his focus shifted to feature films, the first of which are LAST RESORT (2000) and MY SUMMER OF LOVE (2004). Both films won BAFTA awards.
