Piesiewicz

Piesiewicz is a Polish surname. It is relatively uncommon and is borne by individuals of Polish origin, including the screenwriter Krzysztof Piesiewicz (born 1943). Piesiewicz is best known for his collaboration with film director Krzysztof Kieslowski, notably as a co-writer of the Dekalog series (1988), a landmark of Polish cinema and television.

Krzysztof Piesiewicz’s screenwriting work with Kieslowski helped shape the tone and themes of their projects, and his contributions are frequently noted in discussions of Kieslowski’s early and mid-career period. Beyond Dekalog, the extent of their collaboration extended to other Kieslowski projects in the late 1980s and 1990s, reflecting a significant creative partnership within Polish cinema.

The surname occurs primarily in Poland and among Polish communities abroad; there is no widely recognized meaning beyond its function as a family name. Other individuals bearing the name Piesiewicz are less documented in public sources, and the name is most commonly encountered in Polish-language contexts.
