Artist/Filmmaker
Independent

Piotr Winiewicz is a Copenhagen based, Polish artist, filmmaker and scenographer.

Piotr’s debut feature film, About a Hero, which opened the 2024 International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) is an adaptation of a script written by an AI trained by the work of Werner Herzog. The narrative it produced, ironically self-reflective, is intertwined with a series of interviews with artists, philosophers and scientists reflecting on the notion of originality, authenticity, immortality, and the soul in the age of AI.

He is a graduate from The Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where his diploma film On High in White Tomorrows was awarded the Wurdigung Prize. His work focuses on blurred lines between reality and fiction.
