Magdalena Sroka named new head of PISF

Magdalena Sroka, a deputy mayor of Kraków, has been selected as the new head of the Polish Film Institute and will replace Agnieszka Odorowicz, whose second term at the post ends on October 2, according to an unofficial information by private broadcaster TVN24. The members of the commission don't confirm the information, but admit that there were no doubts which candidate was the best. As many as nine people were running in the competition. "For me, the life is in Kraków. I don't think I would be able to become acclimatized to living in any other city," Sroka told daily Wyborcza in September last year.
