Piotr Szwedes was born on August 5th 1968 in a historical town known as the "Pearl of Warmia" - Lidzbark Warmiński, Poland. After graduating high school and being rejected from a university to study law he studied hospitality at the Technical School in Mrągowo where he was a member of the "Artefakt" theater group at the Youth Cultural Center which prompted him to meet the prospecting actor and director Wojciech Malajkat. In 1992, he graduated from the Acting Department of the Polish National Film, Television and Theater School Leon Schiller in Łódź. In the same year he received the jury's distinction and the Tonsil award at the 10th National Review of Graduate Performances of Theater Schools in Łódź for the role of Mr. Martin in Eugène Ionesco's "The Bald Soprano", directed by Ewa Mirowska. He performed at the Teatr Studyjny in Łódź and in Varsovian theaters such as: Studio (1991–1992), Ochota (1993–1993, 1997–1998, 2000), Na Woli (1995, 1998, 2000), Scena Prezentacje (1995), Nowy, Komedia (2003–2006), Bajka and Kamienica. In the years 2009-2015 he was a full-time actor at the Teatr Syrena, where he played in productions directed by Wojciech Malajkat including Agata Christie's crime fiction "Spider's Web" (2008), the black comedy "Loot" (2009) and in Stephen King's play adaptation "The Shawshank Redemption" (2011). In 2008 he directed an impressionistic performance by Maria Czubaszek "Przepraszam, czy tu straszy?" At the tm theater, he appeared as Satan in the play "Experiment: Adam and Eve" (2010) based on Mark Twain's "The Diaries of Adam and Eve", directed by Tomasz Mędrzak.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
