Agnieszka Glinska

Agnieszka Glinska, born right in the heart of Warsaw back in ‘75, has quietly carved out a spot for herself as one of Poland’s most inventive film editors. She’s not just snipping scenes and gluing them together—her work actually shapes the whole vibe of the movies she touches. You’ve probably caught her name roll by in the credits for “Lamb” (2021), that oddball Icelandic flick that had people talking about sheep in a way nobody expected, or maybe “Eo” (2022), a movie that’s basically a wild ride told through the eyes of a donkey, if you can believe it. Let’s not forget “11 Minutes” (2015), a film that’s pretty much a nerve-jangling sprint from start to finish, jumping between characters and stories like it’s got caffeine for blood. Glinska’s cuts are sharp, but not flashy—she knows when to linger on a shot and when to yank you into the next scene. She’s got this knack for pulling emotion out of the footage, making you feel stuff you didn’t even see coming. Directors trust her with their weirdest, boldest ideas, probably because she’s proven she can handle stories that zigzag all over the place without losing the plot—or the audience. There’s this sense that she’s not just editing movies; she’s kind of remixing reality, turning raw footage into something that sticks with you long after the credits roll. Whether it’s the chilly landscapes of “Lamb” or the wild, almost surreal chaos in “Eo,” you can bet Agnieszka’s fingerprints are all over the final cut. She’s one of those behind-the-scenes pros who actually shifts the way you experience a film, even if you don’t realize it.
