Since her film debut she has worked in many international productions: LA BALLATA DEI LAVAVETRI (Peter del Monte, Italy, 1998), LIBRE CIRCULATION (Jean-Marc Moutout, France, 2002), VALERIE (Birgit Möller, Germany, 2007), as well as in films with renowned directors including: THE HIDDEN TREASURE (Krysztof Zanussi, 2000); THE REVENGE (Andrzej Wajda, 2002) for which Agata was nominated as Best Supporting Actress at the Polish Film Awards; NIGHTWATCHING (Peter Greenaway, 2007) and WITHIN THE WHIRLWIND (Marleen Gorris, 2008).
For her performance in Borys Lankosz's REVERSE (Poland's national submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film 2011), Agata received a Best Actress award at the 34th Polish Film Festival in Gdynia and at the 12th Polish Eagle Awards.
Jury's comment: "In REVERSE Agata Buzek lights up a stylized and eccentric role that could have proved restricting to a lesser actress. But her charisma is boundless and though you never see the work, she cleverly establishes a connection to this strange woman is perfectly natural and organic."
