“While remaining an artist, Rosa looks at the world a bit like a sociologist, and a bit like a moralist.”
- Bożena Janicka, http://www.culture.pl
Originally an architecture student in Gliwice, Mr. Rosa focused his attentions on radio and television direction at Katowice’s Silesian University. His short film Gry i zabawy wojskowe (1991) was nominated for a Student Academy Award, and three years later his first feature film, Gorący czwartek (Hot Thursday) won him Best Debut Director at the Gdynia Polish Film Festival.
Apart from directing, the Zabrze native continues to write his own screenplays and lectures at the Silesian University in Katowice. His newest film, the award-winning and true-to-life Co słonko widziało (What the Sun Has Seen, 2006), is based on newspaper articles and his own real-life observations of street scenes.
