Zbigniew Rybczynski (Polish: ['zbig??f r?p't??j~sk?i]; born 27 January 1949) is a Polish filmmaker, director, cinematographer, screenwriter, creator of experimental animated films and multimedia artist who has won numerous prestigious industry awards both in the United States and internationally including the 1982 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film for Tango. He has taught cinematography and digital cinematography, and has worked as a researcher of blue and greenscreen compositing technology at Ultimatte Corporation.
He is renowned for his innovative audiovisual techniques and for his pioneering experimentation in the field of new image technology. In March 2009 Rybczynski returned to Poland, taking up residence in Wroclaw, where he has set up the Center for Audiovisual Technologies (CeTA) at the site of the city's historic Feature Film Studio.
The center, which officially opened in January 2013, includes a state-of-the-art studio designed by Rybczynski for the production of multi-layer film images, and an institute for research into images and visual technologies. After Rybczynski discovered and published huge corruption in CeTA, they fired him and subsequently he declared the renunciation of his Polish citizenship.
