A director for the Polish Film Centre
Agnieszka Odorowicz, former member of the Ministry of Culture, has just been elected to manage the Polish Film Centre, a new institution created by the film Law, voted last July (cf.news 08/29.)
A week ago, Agnieszka Odorowicz announced her resignation from the Ministry in order to be eligible to replace Michał Merczyński, temporary director for a month who was actually her main contender, together with Piotr Reisch, for the final vote. The commission which unanimously chose Odorowicz included Jerzy Kalina, Julisz Machulski, Wojciech Marczewski, and Janusz Morgenstern, amongst others.
30-year-old Agnieszka Odorowicz graduated at the Cracow Economy Academy. She handled the structural Europeans funds for the Ministry of Culture and helped draft the new film Law. This Statute gives the director of the Centre much power. So, the new director will organise the budget and manage production and distribution support funds for five full years, renewable once.
