My films are doing well in Polish cinemas, so I don't really have problems financing them, and my international accolades are helpful.

I found my personal style in black humor and mixing funny things with very touching ones - like trying to force people to cry and smile almost at the same moment.

This mixture of Polish, not Polish, of being European, gives me a perspective to see Poland through "new eyes" - paradoxically, more closely... because it's from a kind of distance.

Poland and my roots are very important for me. That's why I decided to make a feature film in Poland, and with only Polish money.

A body - physical, astral, dead - might be treated as an object, might be adored and hated. So this story has emerged from the material that the body is.

In Poland, some people think that I'm kind of scandalous because I'm a woman who should stay at home with her kids instead of making movies about what I want and, even worse, addressing Polish taboos like church, homosexuals and history.

At the moment, I'm focusing on these kind of "small" films - maybe after that, I will make bigger films in English.
