So who is
this Alek Wasilewski?
A guy from Poland with overly grown ambitions.
Anything else?
ENG
Born in Warsaw, Poland in George Orwell's year of
choice. I am said to be fascinated with dark, ugly and macabre themes,
but if you ask me I just tell stories I
happen to find interesting.
Besides animation, I also try telling stories through photography, comics,
graphic artwork and writing. Animation has proven most successful to
date - doing web animation since 2003, my short films earned some recognition and awards, including a spot on Atomfilms, several million views on community websites (Newgrounds.com and others), Best Web Animation award on BAF 2005, finalist feature in The Greatest
Story Never Told (TGSNT) Digital Storytelling Competion in 2006 and
2007, Best Animated Film on 2008 ÉCU European Independent Film Festival.
Outside the monitors, my animations reached festivals,
shows, TV programmes, as well as galleries and concerts scattered all
around the world, including Poland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Hong Kong, Macedonia, Brazil, Australia
or USA.

Jak dotąd zajmowałem się przede wszystkim animacją
internetową. W ciągu lat moje animacje dorobiły się kilku milionów obejrzeń online.
Poza ekranami monitorów, animacje dotarły na festiwale,
pokazy, programy telewizyjne, galerie lub koncerty w miejscach porozrzucanych
po całym świecie - Polska, Niemcy, Francja, Włochy, Hiszpania, Wlk. Brytania, Hong Kong,
Macedonia, Brazylia, Australia, czy USA.
W Polsce odwiedziły one TVP1 i Kino Polska.
Poza animacją, zajmuję się również fotografią i komiksem.
