I am a film historian and curator. I studied Czech studies with a specialization in literature and literary studies at the Faculty of Philology of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, and film studies at the Institute of Visual Arts, Faculty of Management and Social Communication, Jagiellonian University. I also completed postgraduate studies in art history and visual arts at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw.

I have been working at the National Film Archive since 2009. I initially worked in the sales department, later in the film history department, and subsequently joined the team of film curators. My professional focus includes international documentary cinema, Polish cinema, and the identification of fiction films within German-language and Italian cinematography. I collaborate on film retrospectives and exhibition projects and regularly participate in academic conferences.

My broader research interests include film propaganda during the Second World War and the history of aviation in the visual arts.
