Education[edit]
Kazejak-Dawid studied cultural studies at both National Film School in Łódź and University of Silesia in Katowice. In 2001 she enrolled at National Film School in Łódź to study directing. She graduated in 2008.
Career[edit]
Despite her young age, Kazejak-Dawid was met with critical acclaim, which is visible both in the positive press she received and in the nine nominations and six awards. Her newest film, Obietnica (2013), was shown at Berlin International Film Festival under the working title of the project, Word.[2] The film can be considered quintessential to Kazejak-Dawid's style, as it both touches on a woman-oriented problem (female violence) and relays on young, inexperienced actors (Eliza Rycembel and Mateusz Więcławek).
She is a member of the European Film Academy.
