Mariusz Treliński (born 1962) - screen writer and film director. He was awarded the Polish Cinematography Committee Prize for his film directing debut, 'Pożegnanie jesieni' (Farewell to Autumn, 1990). His film 'Łagodna' (A Gentle Woman, 1995) was awarded at the Gdynia Film Festival, and also at the Strasburg European Film Festival. His most recent film 'Egoiści' (The Egoists, 1999) stirred a fair share of controversy in Polish film circles. Treliński also directs opera, for example, Puccini's 'Madame Butterfly', Szymanowski's 'Król Roger' and Verdi's 'Otello'. He was awarded many titles, e.g. Paszport Polityki. In 2008 he was again chosen as the artistic director of the Grand Theatre of the National Opera in Warsaw.
