Wojciech Szczęsny Marczewski (born February 28, 1944 in Łódź) is a Polish film director and screenwriter, academic teacher, and recipient of the Officer's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta. Initially, he collaborated with the Se-Ma-For Small Film Studio and the "Czołówka" Film Studio. Later, as part of the "Tor" Film Studio, he directed critically acclaimed films about growing up in oppressive systems: Nightmares (1978), set during the Kulturkampf era in the Prussian Partition, and Shivers (1981, FIPRESCI Award at the Berlin International Film Festival). His next film, Escape from the Liberty Cinema (1990), received the Golden Lion at the Gdańsk Polish Film Festival.
