Director
Julia Kowalski
Born in France in 1979 to Polish parents, Julia Kowalski embarked on a quest for identity in directing her first documentary, which took her back to her roots. Since then she has continued to explore her preferred themes: the working-class environment, Poland, adolescence, family, sexuality. Her short film, Chamber Music (2013), was selected at many festivals, including Clermont-Ferrand, Brest, Indie Lisboa, Tampere, and Recife. Raging Rose is her first feature film.
