Silence (Polish: Cisza) is a 2001 Polish film directed by Michal Rosa from a screenplay by Rosa and Krzysztof Piesiewicz. Rosa was named best director for the film at the 2001 Polish Film Festival.[1] Actress Kinga Preis won Best Actress at both the Polish Film Festival and the 2002 Polish Film Awards.[1] The film was also nominated for Polish Film Awards for its cinematography and its score.[1]

Cisza is one of several Polish films released in 2001 with a religious theme.[2] According to Piesiewicz, Cisza was intended as the first of eight films intended to "synthesize the last 20 years of Polish history."[3] The series was to be called Naznaczeni (Predestined).[3]
