Ladies and Gentlemen,
In this latest publication on Polish documentary films,
allow us to present a selection of films produced in
recent months. Many of these films have enjoyed
a successful festival circuit, often winning top festival
awards. Films by Polish documentary filmmakers
screened at over 250 festivals in the past year, including
such prestigious events as IDFA (the Netherlands),
Sundance (United States), Locarno (Switzerland), DOK
Leipzig (Germany), and Hot Docs (Canada). Over 480
screenings at film festivals around the world, 300 of
which were in competition, along with awards received
at these film events serve as best proof of
the recognition that Polish documentary filmmakers
enjoy. ‘Polish Documentaries’ also features a number of
very recent projects that have yet to be released. I am
certain that among these there will be at least a few
that will also gain international acclaim.
Polish directors work on their films in distant and remote
locations around the world, but also in their own homes,
in their hometowns, or nearby schools. Their sensitivity
towards people’s issues, the human condition, and
the social processes in the world of the 21st century is
remarkable. In their films, they often tackle issues that
are controversial, surprising, and often forgotten. They
bring to light images of the world and people’s emotions
to which we, audiences, might otherwise be oblivious.
Polish documentary films certainly deserve to be
noticed.
Agnieszka Odorowicz
General Director of the Polish Film Institute

6 Degrees
6 kroków
A journey through places, lifestyles and characters; a documentary inspired
by the theory of ‘six degrees of separation,‘ according to which there are
only six contact persons between us and any other person in the world. To
test this theory, the filmmakers selected two random people: Martyna,
a punk rock singer from Warsaw, and Marco Antonio, a farmer from
a remote Mexican village. Then they set off on a journey to find the links
that connect them.

A left-wing organization ran a cultural centre located at Nowy Świat

Polish Film Insitute
The Polish Film Institute (PFI) carries out
the statutory tasks of state policy in the field of
cinematography. Among its other duties, it is responsible
for creating conditions for the development of Polish
film production and international co-productions. PFI
provides subsidies and loans (in the case of films with
significant attendance potential), acting within
the framework of its Operational Programme priorities.
In 2014, there are four Programmes:
1. Film Production
(21 million EUR):
Objectives: screenwriting scholarships, project
development, production of feature films,
documentaries and animations.
2. Education and Dissemination of Film Culture
(4.25 million EUR):
Objectives: film education and professional training, film
events, local film initiatives, digital reconstruction and
preservation of film archives, as well as research and
development.
3. Development of Cinema Infrastructure
PFI subsidizes both film production and project
development. The participation of PFI in a film
production underwritten by foreign funds is possible if
Poland co-produces said film in accordance with
the European Convention on Co-production, and artistic
contribution of Polish artists is commensurate with
the assumed co-production participation on the Polish
side. The minimum co-production, contribution is at
least 10% of the financial or financial-and-material
input in the case of a multilateral co-production and at
least 20% of a bilateral co-production. Subsidy of such
a project by PFI carries with it an absolute necessity of
spending at least 80% of the subsidy within Polish
territory. In the case of a minority co-production,
the minimum contribution of Polish artists is also
specified:
(2.7 million EUR):
Objectives: modernization of cinema houses and
co-financing of digital projection equipment.
4. Promotion of Polish Films Abroad
(1.9 million EUR).
In 2014, PFI will spend approximately 31 million EUR to
carry out its tasks.
➜ in a feature film – employ at least one Polish artist,
i.e., set designer, director of photography, editor,
composer;
➜ in a documentary – fulfill at least one of
the following terms: use material from Polish film
archives; introduce a Polish character; employ a Polish
cinematographer, composer or editor in the production;
➜ in an animation – employ at least one Polish artist,
i.e., animation director, storyboard writer, layout artist or
composer, and prepare a substantial part of
the animation in Poland.

maximum subsidy in EUR, ca.
PFI provides grants of up to 50% of the estimated
project costs, subject to quota limits set for film types
and topics (see table below). A ‘difficult’ movie project
(film trudny), including a directorial debut or a director’s
second outing, may receive a grant of no more
than 70% of production costs, but not in the case of
a minority co-production. For international
co-productions, including minority productions,
percentage limits of the subsidy are calculated on
the basis of the total funding from the Polish side.
However, for international co-productions, including
minority productions, with a Polish director, percentage
limits of the subsidy are calculated on the basis of
the total budget.

session 3/2014: July 1-15, 2014
During one session, a producer may apply for funding for
up to four projects, including up to three film production
projects. Projects are evaluated by experts appointed
from among representatives of the Polish film industry,
but the final decision belongs to the General Director of
the Polish Film Institute. Evaluation results and funding
decisions are announced after 90 days. The decision is
valid for six months and its validity may be extended for
up to six consecutive months. Return of the donation is
required if a film has generated profit within the first six
years after its première.
