‘Fatherland’ Producer Ewa Puszczyńska On Working With Paweł Pawlikowski, Poland’s Growing Production Landscape & “Finding Common Ground” With Filmmakers
Polish producer Ewa Puszczyńska has long been one of the country’s most recognized film producers who has steadily built a reputation for supporting some of the most ambitious cinema to come out of Europe across the last decade. She’s worked with directors such as Paweł Pawlikowski, David Lynch, Jonathan Glazer, Jesse Eisenberg and Agnieszka Smoczyńska to name a few but it’s her partnership with Pawlikowski that propelled her career to international status.
She first worked with the Polish filmmaker on his 2013 BAFTA and Oscar-winning film Ida and has since produced his triple Oscar-nominated film Cold War as well as this year’s Cannes competition title Fatherland, which is Pawlikowski’s first film in eight years. The title, which stars Hanns Zischler and Sandra Hüller, premiered at the Grand Théâtre Lumière on May 14 and received a six-minute ovation while Deadline’s review called the film “a masterclass in artistic discipline.”
