“Director Ryszard Bugajski characterises the conspiracy thriller as, ‘a picture about a battle between good and bad… about the clash between officials and ordinary people, who through their hard work and ingenuity are trying to build a new Poland.’…The creators of The Closed Circuit received the Vector Award from the Employers of the Republic of Poland Association, a prestigious prize given out since 2002 to people involved in business, politics, culture and the media. ‘For having courage to show the truth about the problems faced by Polish entrepreneurs in confronting the ruthless bureaucratic machine,’ the jury justified their choice, ‘and their perseverance in bringing the film to a close.'”
