Polish director Michal Kosakowski started making films when he was 10. By the age of 18 he had already directed and produced more than 20 shorts and developed his unique and controversial visual language with his first film production company Dark Productions.
After graduating from the Academy of Commerce in Vienna in 1995, he studied film production at the Vienna Film Academy.
From 1997 to 2000 he attended the artists' workshop Fabrica, the Benetton Communication Research Centre near Venice, Italy. This allowed him to develop his own film ideas in collaboration with the Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani. He also experimented with new ways of visual communication for several cultural, social and political institutions, such as the United Nations and The International Criminal Court. In 1998, he worked in North Africa as cinematographer for Mohammed Soudani's feature-length documentary film Les diseurs d'histoires (1998) and directed his film Holy War (1999), which explores the crossovers between Christmas and war.
In 2000 Michal Kosakowski returned to Vienna where he continued his creative work in the commercial area as concept developer and film editor in the renowned agency DMC - Design for Media and Communication.
In 2003 he founded the film production company nosugar added, focusing on documentaries, artist portraits, music films, commercials and experimental films, such as the award-winning Sleepers (2002) and Gipsy Express (2002). He also directed the short film Wait a Minute (2004) and the documentary The Heart of It (2004/2010) in collaboration with the Serbian writer Goran Mimica and the French writer Joseph Denize.
In 2006 Kosakowski moved to Munich, Germany where he intensified his artistic collaboration with the Austrian artist and curator Uli Aigner. Their film projects, such as Ghostakademie (2005), Just Like the Movies (2006), Fortynine (1999-2007), The Inquisitive Museum (2010) and Ephemera - Uli Aigner by Michal Kosakowski (2018), were hosted by venues as renowned as the Kunsthalle Wien, Centre Pompidou Paris, Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz, Kunstwerke Berlin, Städtische Kunsthalle München Lothringer13, C/O Berlin - International Forum For Visual Dialogues, The Rotterdam Film Festival, Kunstfilmbiennale Cologne, ZKM - Zentrum Für Kunst Und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe, Museo National Centro De Arte Reina Sofia Madrid, Pierogi Gallery New York, Soho Centre Beijing, Museo da Arte Garrillo Gil Mexico City, Multiplicidade Rio De Janeiro or The Clair-Obscur Filmfestival Basel.
Kosakowski's passion for music has triggered several music film productions with and about the MKO (Munich Chamber Orchestra), the violinist KP Werani and his string trio TrioCoriolis, the Dutch musician and musicologist Francis Kuipers, the Berlin drummer Steven Garling, the Viennese violinist Mosa Sisic and the New York electronic music artist Ray Sweeten.
Since 2004 Kosakowski has been working with the Italian composer Paolo Marzocchi. For their experimental film Just Like the Movies (2006) about the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Michal Kosakowski was given the award for best film and Paolo Marzocchi received the best original score prize by the international film festivals of Milan, Amsterdam, Santiago de Chile and Forli, Italy. The film was also acquired for the collections of the Library of the University of Amsterdam and the Danish Film Institute and is regularly shown at international symposia and film seminars.

In 2015 he was a Jury Member at the Soundtrack_Cologne 12 - German Festival of Music and Sound in Film and Media, Cologne.
Between 1996 and 2007 Michal Kosakowski created the video-installation Fortynine with more than 160 participants from 28 countries on the subject of murder fantasies. This resulted in Zero Killed in 2011 - his first feature-length film that received awards at numerous international film festivals.
In 2015 his production company Kosakowski Films produced the anthology feature film German Angst, in which he directed his episode Make a Wish alongside legendary Berlin underground director Jörg Buttgereit and the Giallo expert Andreas Marschall. The film was sold in over 10 countries and shown at over 40 international film festivals such as the Rotterdam Film Festival and Sitges Film Festival.

- German novelist Alfred Doblin was born in Stettin, Germany, in 1888. When he was ten years old his family moved to Berlin, and Alfred later attended Berlin and Freiburg universities, where he studied medicine. He received his MD degree in 1905 and was hired by a newspaper in Regensburg as a correspondent. By this time he had already written two novels (only one of which was published, and that one not until 1919). His first published works were short stories published in a local magazine in 1904.
He returned to Berlin in 1911 and set up a medical practice specializing in nervous disorders in the Alexanderplatz district. He continued writing, however, and in 1915 published to critical acclaim the novel "Die Drei Sprunge des Wang-lun". World War I interrupted his writing and medical careers, and he joined the German army as a physician. He remained in the army for three years, and took part in the horrendous battle of Verdun, in which it is estimated that more than one million men died. After the war he continued writing and several of his novels were published, including "Wallenstein" (1920), an epic novel about the Thirty Years War. He didn't confine himself just to historical novels, however. He turned out several plays and a science-fiction fantasy, "Berge, Meere und Giganten" (1924), about life in the period from the years 2700-3000 in which machines have taken over the most of the functions performed by man, wreaking havoc with humanity.
In 1926 he was elected to the Prussian Academy. In 1927 he turned out an epic poem, "Manas", and then two years later he published what many consider his masterwork, "Alexanderplatz", a novel about life in the working-class Berlin district where he spent many years. He wrote more books and plays that were successful, but the rise of Naziism and Adolf Hitler troubled him, and he left Germany. He moved around Europe until the German takeover of Holland, where he was living at the time, resulted in his moving to the US, where he settled down in Hollywood.
He moved back to Germany after the war, and died in Emmendingen in 1957 at age 78 of Parkinson's Disease. - Marta Stalmierska is a Polish actress known for her work in both theater and movies.
