Life and career edit
He initially studied at the National Film School in Łódź but dropped out. In 2007, he made his first full-length feature film entitled Rezerwat. The film tells the story of a photographer living in the Praga District of Warsaw who becomes infatuated with a local hairdresser and as a result comes into conflict with a criminal who shares a flat with her. He received an award for best debut at the 32nd Gdynia Film Festival.[1] In 2011, he directed Wojna żeńsko-męska based on a novel by Hanna Samson, which received much less favourable reviews from critics.[2]
In 2014, Palkowski directed his most critically acclaimed film Gods starring Tomasz Kot and based on the life of Zbigniew Religa, a surgeon who carried out the first heart transplant in Poland. The film won Grand Prix at the 39th Gdynia Film Festival as well as Polish Film Award for Best Film.[3][4] In 2017, he directed a biopic Breaking the Limits inspired by the life of triathlete Jerzy Górski.[5] The film received the Audience Award at the Gdynia Film Festival.[6]
He also directed a number of television series including an award-winning crime drama Belfer in 2016.[7] He also directed the first six episodes of Pułapka ("The Trap") TV series in 2018[8] while in 2019 he directed Żmijowisko based on Wojciech Chmielarz's crime novel.[9]
