He also worked on the set with Agnieszka Polska, Tomasz Śliwiński, Magda Hueckel and Łukasz Palkowski, among others.
In September 2019, at the 76th International Film Festival in Venice, the film Corpus Christi directed by Jan Komasa, in which Bielenia played the leading role, premiered. Corpus Christi tells the story of an adolescent who, having left a correctional facility, starts pretending to be a priest. The role brought Bielenia plenty of awards, including the prestigious Zbyszek Cybulski Award (2019), given to the best young actors. In 2020, he also received the Passport Polityka Award, for ‘expressing that which is painful and important to all Poles, as well as his outstanding acting’.
