Marek Koterski

Marek Koterski (b. 1942, Kraków) studied Polish literature and history of art at the University of Wrocław, then went on to graduate in direction from the National Film School in Łódź (PWSFTviT). Thanks to his time as a stage director, many of his numerous documentaries focus on the theater and its people. In 1984 he debuted with The Mad House, followed by the well-received The Inner Life (1986). In a subsequent series of films (including Porno, 1989 and No Laughing Matter, 1995), he returned to the character of Adaś Miauczyński, who is also the protagonist of Day of the Wacko (2002). That film competed at Karlovy Vary in the East of the West section, and was shown at the Berlinale as well. At the national film festival in Gdynia, Day of the Wacko took the Grand Prix, and Best Actor went to Marek Kondrat.
