Detailed explanation-1: -Andrzej Żuławski (Polish: [ˈandʐɛj ʐuˈwafskʲi]; 22 November 1940 – 17 February 2016) was a Polish film director and writer. Żuławski often went against mainstream commercialism in his films, and enjoyed success mostly with European art-house audiences. In the late 1950s, he studied cinema in France.

Detailed explanation-2: -The earliest surviving feature film, the Antoś pierwszy raz w Warszawie (Antoś for the First Time in Warsaw) was made in 1908 by Antoni Fertner. The date of its première, October 22, 1908, is considered the founding date of Polish film industry.

Detailed explanation-3: -The best place to start – Ashes and Diamonds It’s absolutely the obvious choice, but there’s ample reason for that: it really is difficult to look past Ashes and Diamonds (1958). Considered by many to be the greatest Polish film ever made, and by most to be Wajda’s finest work, it was his first film after the thaw.
