In 1971, Polom entered the National Film School in Lodz, Poland. He received a master’s degree at the same school, concentrating on Direction and Cinematographic Direction for film and television. From 1971-76, he was a member of a group of avant-garde Polish filmmakers called the Workshop of Film Form. Janusz Polom has worked a lot within the experimental genre in artistic areas as well as researching light and visual representation. As a professional artistic photographer, he has shown work in cities such as Warsaw, Lodz, Olsztyn, Paris, Montreal, Sao Paulo, Mexico City, Morelia, Cuernavaca and Aguascalientes, among others. His interest in this art has also allowed him to take on the responsibilities of an educator. He served as Dean of the Department of Cinematography at the National Film School in Lodz, Poland (1981-86), and as a professor at the Université du Québec in Montreal. He has been a guest professor at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, at the Azcapotzalco campus in Mexico City; and has given cinematography workshops in Montevideo, Uruguay. In 1984 he began working closely with the Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica (CCC) in Mexico City. In 1989 he served as the Photography and Cinematography Coordinator at the CCC and participated in the specialized program at the school that dealt with this particular subject. In 2001, after being away for 18 years, he returned to Poland to do his doctorate at the National Film School in Lodz, becoming a Doctor in Cinematographic Arts. Currently he works in the field of still photography and multimedia as the Chair of Fine Arts at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, in northern Poland. He has directed and done cinematography for many short, medium- and feature-length films and videos, which have won well-deserved national and international awards. He worked as cinematographer on Juan Pablo Villaseñor’s feature-length film Por si no te vuelvo a ver (If I Never See You Again), which won nine Arieles and various international prizes; Harriet Wichin’s documentary Silent Witness, which garnered a nomination for a Genie award in Canada; Louise Carre’s film Mon coeur est temoin, which won Best Picture about Africa at the Festival Vues de la Afrique, in Montreal. In 2000, he and the Mexican painter Gilda Cruz Revueltas participated in the exhibition Mexican Myths at the Museum of History in Lodz, Poland. The poetic book: El tiempo en Tepoztlán (Time in Tepoztlán) illustrated with his photo-poems came out of his long stay in Mexico. At the same time, he created Paisaje nevado (Snowy Landscape), a project made up of images seen from the window of his home. * Free Admission * * Limited Space for 20 persons* The seminar will take place in the conference room of the Morelia International Film Festival offices located at: Melchor Ocampo 35Colonia CentroMorelia, Michoacán 58000 For more information:Telephone: (443) 317-7801 and 02e-mail: Susana Juárez susajd@gmail.comNadia Irlanda Anaya nadiairlanda@gmail.com ** CINEMATOGRAPHY SEMINAR** Led by Janusz Polom/p> on three days Thursday, August 7 afternoon, from 16:00 to 20:00;Friday, August 8, all day, from 9:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 20:00; Saturday, August 9, morning from 9:00 to 14:00.
