Trained as a scientist, Jacek Klinowski for many years worked as Professor of Chemical Physics at the University of Cambridge doing pioneering research on molecular sieves using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and also in mathematics. He has been passionately interested in cinema since his teens and, while once having to pursue screenings of interesting films to the ends of the earth, he now has the convenience of a vast collection of recorded films. Alongside Adam Garbicz, a fellow film critic and historian, who originally trained as a geophysicist, he has explored the history and impact of world cinema in depth.
