Jerzy Stuhr<\/strong>, laureate of the Special Lifetime Achievement Award to the Polish Artist, is one of the most popular Polish actors. He also works as a screenplay writer, film director and drama professor. He serves as the Rector of Ludwik Solski Academy of the Dramatic Arts in Krakow. In the early 1970s Stuhr appeared in Polish theatre. Having met film director Krzysztof Kieslowski<\/b> in the mid-1970s, he continued to work with him until Kieslowski’s death in 1996. Talking about his film career Jerzy Stuhr said that “it all began in 1975 with Krzysztof Kieslowski”. To an international audience Stuhr may be best known for his minor role as thick-witted hairdresser Jurek in Kieslowski’s Three Colors: White<\/i><\/span>.<\/p>\n

As well as appearing in a total of five of Kie\u015blowski’s films, Stuhr also was mentored by the older director when he moved from working in front of the camera to behind it. Moreover, he has drawn inspiration from Kie\u015blowski’s style and obsession with “moral concern.” Stuhr’s second film, Historie mi\u0142osnie (Love Stories, 1997)<\/span><\/i>, was dedicated to Kie\u015blowski, and one of his latest features, Du\u017ce zwierz\u0119 (The Big Animal, 2000)<\/span><\/i>, even employs an early, previously unshot Kie\u015blowski’s screenplay. <\/p>\n

Since his own directing debut in 1994 he has made 6 films in total, i.e.: Spis cudzo\u0142o\u017cnic (The List of Adultresses), Love Stories, Tydzie\u0144 z \u017cycia m\u0119\u017cczyzny (A Week in the Life of a Man), The Big Animal, Pogoda na jutro (Tomorrow\u2019s Weather)<\/i><\/span> and Korow\u00f3d (Procession)<\/span><\/i>. <\/p>\n
