Agata Trzebuchowska (Polish pronunciation: [aˈgata tʂɛbuˈxɔfska]; born 12 April 1992) is a Polish screenwriter and film director.[1][2] She debuted in the film industry playing the title role in the 2013 film Ida for which she was nominated for many festival and industry awards. She works as a journalist for Przekrój.[3]
Ida director Paweł Pawlikowski was having trouble finding an actress to play his title character, so he put out word to the Warsaw film community to be on the lookout for talent. Trzebuchowska was spotted by a friend of Pawlikowski, Agnieszka Szumowska, sitting in a cafe reading a book. Trzebuchowska had no acting experience or plans to pursue an acting career, but agreed to meet with Pawlikowski because she was a fan of his 2004 film My Summer of Love.[4]
