Biography
Ewelina Rosińska is a film artist who explores female perspectives and the themes of identity and transnationality. Through experimental film possibilities and the complexity of image and sound, she develops her own language that goes beyond words and seeks emotional directness. In her work, she primarily uses a Bolex 16 mm camera. She is interested in the fragmentary narratives, peripheral experiences and the fleeting everyday moments in her surroundings.
Rosińskas works have been shown at international festivals, museums and art institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, the Museum of the Moving Image in New York or the International Film Festival in Rotterdam.
Her film "Ashes by Name is Man" won the BEST EXiS AWARD 2023 at the Experimental Film and Video Festival in Seoul and was nominated for the GERMAN SHORT FILM AWARD 2023. In 2024 she received a Berlin Senate grant for moving image artists. Her recent film "Unstable Rocks" premiered at doc lisboa international film festival 2024, followed by the international premiere at CPH:DOX, New:Vision Competition 2025 and was nominated for the Doc Alliance Award. In September 2025 she was the artist in focus at the Cinemancia Festival Metropolitano de Cine in Medellin, Colombia.
Ewelina Rosińska was born and grew up in a small town in south-east Poland. She holds an MA in Art History from Jagiellonian University in Krakow, as well as a diploma from the German Film and Television Academy (dffb) in Berlin. She divides her time between Germany, Poland and Portugal.
