More About

I started my career with the Quinzaine. It showed my first feature, The Structure of Crystal. I wasn’t allowed by the Polish communist authorities to be present in person. However, for a young filmmaker, it was a real help. The Quinzaine is a marvelous showcase.

—Polish director Krzysztof Zanussi’s The Structure of Crystal screened at the 1970 edition of the Directors’ Fortnight. He has since been featured three times in the Cannes competition, winning a Jury Prize in 1980 for The Constant Factor.
