On Monday at Elektronik cinema we had a chance to watch the pre-premiere of the whole season during a closed screening for the crew and friends of the series.
The creator of the series, whose first season garnered over 60 million views on YouTube worldwide, is our Directing student Natasza Parzymies. Natasza herself told the audience about the beginnings of the project. Before the guests of the screening could learn more about the turbulent love story of the protagonists of the series, the cinema screen showed the two-minute etude that started it all – an obligatory exercise Natasza did as her first-year assignement at the WFS.
The screening was commented by WFS Chancellor PhD Maciej Ślesicki. Chancellor admitted that already during the first screening in 2018 Natasza's etude caused quite a stir among the examiners, and confirmed his own belief that he was dealing with an exceptionally talented artist.
The great popularity of season one led to collaborations with professional producers. The second and third seasons of "Control" are produced by Marta Paslawska (Player and TVN) and Natalia Grzegorzek (Koskino), who also teaches production at the WFS.

Many students and alumni of the Warsaw Film School are once again involved in creating the third season of this exciting story. Apart from Natasza (who is also responsible for the script and directing) the following persons also worked on the production: Filip Pasternak (cinematography), Paweł Lichota (editing), Weronika Bystrowska (editing), Magda Knapczyńska (production manager), Kasia Rogalska (sharpener), Monika Rakowska (camera assistant), Eliza Godlewska (locations) Kuba Nurzyński (second office director), Julia Gintrowska (sound for additional materials), Gamou Fall (actor) and Adrianna Chlebicka (playing the main role – the character Natalia). Maciej Ślesicki, Ewa Sokołowska, Karol Vo and Karolina Kałakajło were production collaborators on the part of the WFS.
The creators are promising that the third season will further mess with the lives of the female characters. The main roles are once again played by Adrianna Chlebicka and Ewelina Pankowska (Majka). We will also see Jakub Sielski (Kuba), Joanna Połeć (Wera), Anu Czerwiński (Franek) and Anna Krotoska (Natalia's mother). Guest appearances in season 3 will include Dorota Stalińska, Katarzyna Gniewkowska, Cezary Żak, Irena Melcer, Agata Różycka and Ralph Kaminski.
We can't wait the reception of the new season, which is available on Player starting today!

"Control," however, is not the only global phenomenon that was born at the Warsaw Film School. The short film "The Dress" directed by Tadeusz Łysiak – has been nominated for an Oscar! In addition, the first feature-length production by our students and alumni, the film "The Land", recently hit the Netflix and is available to more than 200 million subscribers worldwide.
Students and Alumni, however, are not resting on their laurels. With comprehensive preparation, they are working on plans for future projects; they never cease to evolve or surprise. Their passion, talent and commitment is giving us hope that the School's good fortune will continue.
