The Films of Agnieszka Holland is the first monograph devoted to the internationally most famous Polish filmmaker, a three times Oscar nominee and the recipient of numerous film festival prizes. It examines her rich, original oeuvre, which ranges from Holocaust dramas such as Europa, Europa (1990) to episodes of the HBO series The Wire. In examining the multifaceted nature of Holland's authorship, the study situates her work in the context of art, popular, national, European, Hollywood, transnational, women's, and queer cinema, as well as global television projects. Her colourful public persona oscillates among auteur, celebrity director, and political activist in an extraordinary professional trajectory, which started in the Eastern Bloc, continued in Western Europe and North America, then backtracked to a unified Europe. That zigzagged route conveys the unique nature of Holland's career while epitomising the transformations of post-Cold War cultural production.

Recognised as one of the most significant contemporary directors, Pawe? Pawlikowski achieved global acclaim with the Academy Award-winning Ida (2013). ReFocus: The Films of Pawe? Pawlikowski is the first book-length study of the director's illustrious career, spanning nearly four decades and two countries Great Britain and Poland. This volume traces Pawlikowski's artistic journey, from early, lesser-known BBC documentaries to breakthrough international successes like Last Resort (2000), My Summer of Love (2004), and the critically acclaimed Cold War (2018).Through in-depth analysis of his films, the book uncovers recurring themes such as identity, love, memory, and journeys, often set against historical and social upheavals. It examines his distinctive style marked by minimalist visuals arguing that with atmospheric modernist aesthetics, Pawlikowski not only consciously develops the tradition of European art film but also demonstrates the continued significance of authorship in a transnational context.
