Biography

In 2000, she graduated from the Cinematography Department of the National Film School in Łódź. She became a member of the Polish Society of Cinematographers (PSC),[1] the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC),[3] and in 2024, a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).[1]

In 2010, she sued Casey Affleck for $2.25 million with multiple complaints including intentional infliction of emotional distress and breach of oral contract.[4][5] Magdalena Górka alleged that she had been subjected to “routine instances” of sexual harassment by crew members including Antony Langdon, “within the presence and with the active encouragement of Affleck.”[4] Affleck denied the allegations and threatened countersuits, but eventually agreed to mediation and settled both cases out of court.[6]
