To celebrate the release of Dekalog, The Criterion Collection has compiled a Spotify playlist of some of Preisner’s most memorable work for Kieślowski:
- The Criterion Collection: The Sonic World of Zbigniew Preisner and Krzysztof Kieślowski
I met and interviewed Kieślowski the first time in Toronto. With his closely cropped hair and the way he often perched his large glasses above his forehead, he could be an intensely forbidding man. On that first interview, I thought he was a bit opaque. My friend and colleague Zbigniew Banas, a Polish-born Chicago critic and writer, moderated and translated the Toronto press conference. Through him, I got to know Kieślowski a little better. Over time he struck me as alternately witty, colorful, relaxed, charming, closed off and intense.
The following interview, appearing in its entirety in English for the first time, is culled from a series of interviews with the filmmaker dating from September 1989 to November 1994, done either individually by Zbigniew Banas, myself or the two of us in collaboration. They were done in Cannes, Toronto and Chicago.

The Sketch of Impermanence: Remembering Kieślowski
羅展鳳著
「2004年，她完成了第一本電影音樂評論作品，並許下承諾：「下一站，波蘭」。因為一個敬重的導演，2007年，她帶著導演的英文版傳記，隻身跑到波蘭的三個城市：華沙、洛茲、克拉科夫，為的是要親身站在導演的出生地、成長地、其拍攝現場、以至墓園，跟導演說聲：「奇斯洛夫斯基先生，謝謝你。」因為這個導演，她的書寫生命從此不再一樣。2016年，結集了這本小書，有關導演與場景，有關導演及其作品，有關生命裡一些感悟。在導演逝世的二十周年，完一個心結。」

Over 1-Hour Masterclass with Krzysztof Kieślowski from 1994, giving directions and advice to actors and directors recreating a scene from Ingmar Bergman's "Scenes from a Marriage".
There are not many immortal directors that still inspire and influence on the young ones. Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski is one of them. Although he passed away ten years ago, the popularity of his movies is undeniable proof of his greatness. The films includes an interview with Marta Hryniak, daughter of Kieslowski, the first ever interview with any member of his family.
還有幾天，就是已在別處吞雲吐霧十多年的Krzysztof Kieslowsk的72歲生日。
有心又長情的影迷Yoco Shue，再次親手製作紀念明信片，廣寄各方同好。感動，謝謝。
Among the films available on Youtube in the first wave are Andrzej Wajda's celebrated WWII movie Ashes and Diamonds (1958), Juliusz Machulski's Sex Mission (1983), and Krzysztof Kieslowski's Three Colours Trilogy.
