The Golden Angel Award For Artistic Insolence to be presented to Agata Kulesza

Agata Kulesza will receive the Golden Angel Award for Artistic Insolence at the 24th edition of the BellaTOFIFEST International Film Festival. It is the only award of its kind in the world, presented by the festival in recognition of artists whose work is defined by creative courage and uncompromising artistic vision.

“Agata Kulesza is an artist who continually sets new standards and raises the bar of acting excellence. Her performances are unforgettable, leaving a profound and lasting impression on audiences. Creatively insolent, unconventional and impossible to define through easy labels. Consistent and fearless in every artistic choice. A true master of her craft. It is a great honour and a deeply moving moment for me that Agata Kulesza will receive this year’s Golden Angel Award for Artistic Insolence,” says BellaTOFIFEST IFF Director Kafka Jaworska.

During this year’s edition of the festival, audiences will have a unique opportunity to explore Agata Kulesza’s artistic journey through three outstanding works of Polish cinema. The programme will feature “Rose” directed by Wojciech Smarzowski, “Ida” directed by Paweł Pawlikowski and “These Daughters of Mine” directed by Kinga Dębska.

Together, these films higlight the many dimensions of her acting - from the harrowing historical drama, through restrained and emotionally charged auteur cinema, to the deeply moving story about family relationships. Each of these works stands as a testament to the exceptional range and depth of the award recipient’s talent, while together they create the portrait of a truly insolent artist.

Audiences are also invited to attend a meeting with Agata Kulesza on Saturday, June 27th. It will be a rare opportunity to meet and speak with one of the most important actresses in contemporary Polish cinema.

The Golden Angel Award for Artistic Insolence is presented by the BellaTOFIFEST International Film Festival to artists whose work is distinguished by courage, uncompromising vision and a consistent commitment to following their own artistic path. It is the only award of its kind in the world.

The 24th BellaTOFIFEST International Film Festival will take place in Toruń from 27 June to 3 July 2026. As every year, we invite audiences to the Festival Centre at CKK Jordanki, Cinema City, the Dwór Artusa Cultural Centre, as well as the festival’s open-air cinema venues. All information about the upcoming festival can be found on our website. Follow us at bellatofifest.pl and on our Facebook profile.
