Lozindki graduated in documentary film from the State Academy of Film, Television and Theatre in Lódz in 1971. He started his career in 1973 as a documentary director for the Warsaw Documentary Studio. He took an active part in the rise of the Production Unit X movement that comprised, under the supervision of the leading figure of Polish cinema Andrzej Wajda, a group of like-minded filmmakers who became known as the representatives of the "cinema of moral anxiety" ("kino moralnego niepokoju"). In his documentary films, Lozinski -- who had himself adopted the ideas of this movement -- has been pursuing the moral dilemmas of contemporary Polish society and the world in general, always looking for conciliatory answers to difficult situations of human existence. In due course, his work has indeed gained an timeless character. Recently Lozinski participated in a Shoah Foundation project by co-directing a documentary with Andrzej Wajda, I REMEMBER (2001). The filmmakers have combined archive footage with the horrific Holocaust experience echoing in the accounts of several Jewish survivors of Auschwitz. Lozinski received the 2002 AFO Documentary Achievement Award.
