Polish animator Jerzy Kucia has directed thirteen animated films, all of which he also wrote, produced and art directed. He is also an illustrator and painter and teaches animation at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, where he heads the Animated Film Department.

Kucia's films have been honoured at festivals and retrospectives around the world, and won many awards. Technically complex, blending drawing, photographic images and manipulated live-action footage, their minimalist narratives are emotionally compelling. For this reason, perhaps, Polish critic Marc’n Gizycki named him "the Bresson of animation".
