Director’s bio
Jan Czarlewski is a French-Polish director and screenwriter, working between Paris, Lausanne and Warsaw. He is interested in both fiction and documentary. He likes to explore what is off-center and to look for irony. In 2012, he graduated from the Cantonal School of Art and Design in Lausanne (ECAL). His short-films have encountered a large success in film festivals around the world, especially « The Ambassador and Me » and « Stuttering Love » which respectively won the Golden and Silver Leopard at the Locarno International Film Festival.
