Film and television

As a film director, he started his career in 1984 with a screen adaptation of his own novel Synteza (Synthesis). Internationally, he got noticed with his four-parts mini-series Mistrz i Malgorzata (based on Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita) in 1990. After this, Wojtyszko would direct many successful TV-series and films in Poland, like Miodowe lata (1998, based on the American sitcom The Honeymooners) for which he got an award at the Polish Humor Festival in Gdańsk and Ogród Luizy (Louise's Garden, 2007) for which he got the Special Prize of the Jury at the XXXII Polish Film Festival in Gdynia.

The author Maciej Wojtyszko

As a novelist, Wojtyszko made his debut in 1969 with Szpilki (Pins), a collection of satirical stories. He’s the author of several books for children and adolescents, some of which were adapted as animated television series, like Bromba i inni (Bromba and others, 1975) and Tajemnica szyfru Marabuta (The Secret Cipher of the Marabout, 1978). A typical element of his children's books are the bizarre main characters facing with existential problems. “I want to familiarize children with the amazing phenomenon of existence. All my books are about the fact that we live and enjoy life”, Wojtyszko said.[1]
