Award-winning filmmaker Maciej Aleksander Bierut had his breakthrough with a self-produced feature documentary premiering at Millennium Docs Against Gravity. Since then, he has worked on a wide range of projects, refusing to limit himself to specific genres.

 

His portfolio includes short films, documentaries, music videos, commercial work, and live shows - most recently, he worked as creative director for Kasia Lins on her upcoming album inspired by the legacy of Grzegorz Ciechowski’s music.

Maciej believes that there are no half measures in cinema. This dedication has earned him numerous accolades, including the Grand Prix Award at PL MVA and recognition from prestigious festivals like Camerimage, Fryderyk Awards, Portland Film Festival, OnArt Festival, and Berlin Music Video Awards, to name a few.

​

He strives to push boundaries and refine a personal cinematic language marked by bold visual aesthetics and conceptual storytelling. As a one-man army, he works not only as a writer-director but also as an editor, with ambitions to take on more projects as a producer. Currently, he is developing his feature-length debut as well as his upcoming film Mr. Drums, starring Tomasz Kot.
