Polish Film Institute (PISF) is the national film fund that offers comprehensive support for the Polish film industry, including film production, education and dissemination of film culture and international promotion. The Institute was established in 2005 and to date has co-financed more than 600 films. PISF is the first contact point for international professionals interested in making films in Poland. Film Commission Poland (FCP) operates within the structure of the Polish Film Institute and its main goal is to promote the immense potential of the Polish film industry and variety of locations abroad. FCP closely cooperates with the network of regional film commissions, runs a comprehensive database of film locations and acts as the liaison between international producers and companies and professionals in the Polish film industry.

OLSZTYN
In general, the Polish regional film funds seek film
projects by announcing competitions. One basic condition
for entering a project for a competition is that it is related POZNAŃ

to a city or town in the region, or to the region itself, either
in its theme and / or its setting, or through the participa- WARSAW
tion of local people and companies in its production.
Support is also contingent on the expending of at least ŁÓDŹ
100% of the funding within the region; in some cases, the dolnośląskie łódzkie LUBLIN
sum to be expended is 150%. The competition organisers WROCŁAW

KRAKÓW
The Polish regional film funds differ in terms of the małopolskie

budgets they manage, the form of support they provide
and the sums which must be expended in their cit-
ies, towns and region during the production of a film.
Support most often takes the form of the institution
managing the fund participating in the production as
film fund operating in the city
a co-producer with its own financial or in-kind contribu-
tion. Other forms of support are non-repayable grants film fund operating in the region
or refunds, in other words, a partial reimbursement of
the costs incurred, which is paid after the production has
been completed. All the Polish film funds provide sup-
port of up to 50% of the film’s budget, although in the
case of documentaries and animated films, the funding
may be higher.
The regional film funds usually announce the competi-
tions once a year, with the assessment of the projects and
allocation of funding taking anything from sixty to one
hundred and twenty days. Foreign producers are also
welcome to submit projects, though preferably as partners
to Polish producers. All the requisite documentation must
be completed in Polish.
