The award ceremony in the city of Kraków in southern Poland was led by the city's mayor, Jacek Majchrowski.

“These awards are awarded to a number of filmmakers who made Polish cinema famous around the world,” Majchrowski said.

“I wanted to thank you, Mr Polański, that originating from the city, and travelling around the world, you never forgot about this place,” Majchrowski added.

The award was given during the Film Music Festival which is being held in the southern Polish cities of Kraków and Katowice.

The festival is the biggest of its kind in Poland. It runs until Monday, 30 May. (rg)
