Introduction
Everything you always wanted to know about the Polish
film industry but were afraid to ask… Or rather – you could
not find the right source of information. Not anymore. We
proudly present you with the new and updated edition of the
Film Production Guide – Poland 2008.

This Guide was designed to help you to make the right use of the
opportunities Poland has to offer in the area of filmmaking. It
presents a complete and comprehensive overview of the country
and its audiovisual sector providing every film professional – be it a
producer, investor, director, art director or casting director – with
quick and easy access to all the necessary practical information on
locations, the legal framework of film production and co-production
opportunities, addresses and contacts of companies in all fields of
filmmaking, hotels in every area of Poland, data on the market –
down to the exact hours of sunrise and sunset at every month of
the year.

Introduction
This volume is devoted to the industry. If are you looking for
money for your production or, alternately, thinking about a good
place to invest, here you will learn how the Polish financing system
works, what the legal and financial regulations are and whom to
contact to obtain information and help in order to make your Polish
venture successful. Even if you need a few hundred extras to play
striking workingmen one day and Napoleonic soldiers the next, or a
symphonic orchestra and a choir of a hundred voices to perform
and record your music. It can all be done here. How? You can find
out through this Guide.
As of 2005, Poland has a modern cinema law and new system of
support, which not only boosts domestic production but also
remains open to ideas coming from any part of the world. The
Polish film industry today offers not only its talents, but also a
variety of opportunities for successful collaboration: prime, often
undiscovered locations, state-of-the-art technical facilities, skilled
teams in every department of production and post-production,
many experienced production companies specializing in
international projects and a well-developed system of public
support.

Polish Law
Entrepreneurs from Member States of the EU and EFTA may
engage in economic activity on the same terms and conditions
as Polish entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs from elsewhere are
restricted to the following legal forms: joint-stock company, limited
liability company, limited partnership or limited joint-stock
partnership; they can also take over or acquire shares in these
listed forms of entities.
Obligations of Entrepreneurs
In a 2006 report published in the Financial Times Poland ranked 5th
among top investment destinations worldwide. Its central
geographical location, large territory and population of nearly 40
million are attracting a growing number of foreign investors. Thanks
to dynamic political and economic changes in recent years Poland
has taken a major leap forward in virtually every sphere of life –
including the media. Poland has become a popular destination for
foreign documentary film crews and feature film producers.
Business Law
The process of rapprochement between Poland and Western
Europe gained impetus in time with Poland’s political and economic
transformation, culminating in EU accession in 2004. Thanks to
modern regulations, European standards and guaranteed equal
rights for foreign businesses, non-Polish film-makers do not require
any special permits.
Foreign entrepreneurs, regardless of their country of origin, can
operate freely in the film industry in Poland without any additional
formalities resulting from their origin.
The basic legal framework is provided by the Act on Freedom of
Economic Activity of 2 July 20041. Pursuant to this Act, an
Poland
Poland is a rapidly developing new member of the European Union
and a major recipient of foreign direct investment in Central and
Eastern Europe. Its current industrial growth rate is around 15%.
For good economic reasons and through measures taken to
encourage inward investment, Poland has benefited from large-scale
investment from Western Europe, the United States and a number
of Asian countries and elsewhere
“entrepreneur” is any person, organization or non-corporate
organizational unit with legal capacity conducting economic activity
on its own, while “economic activity” is defined as professional
(permanent and professional activity, as opposed to occasional and
amateur), subordinated to the rules of profitability and profit,
repeatable and resulting in economic turnover.
Film Production
Guide 2008
Polish Law
Carrying on economic activity requires prior registration in the
Register of Entrepreneurs of the National Court Register (Krajowy
Rejestr Sàdowy) or in the Economic Activity Registry (Ewidencja
DziałalnoÊci Gospodaczej)
In order to perform economic activity in Poland, an entrepreneur is
obliged to:
C obtain a tax identification number (NIP) at the appropriate tax
office and for use in official business (official correspondence,
company seals etc.),
C obtain an identity number based on the type of activity (REGON)
at the Statistical Office,
C register the business with and pay contributions to the Social
Security Office (ZUS) when employing staff,
C open a bank account and use it for all business related transactions,
C file monthly returns and pay taxes (i.e. VAT, income tax, advances
on payroll tax etc.) to the local tax office,
C file financial statements and statistical reports as required by
appropriate regulations.
1. see: Act of 2 July on Freedom of Economic Activity, Polish Official Journal (Dziennik Ustaw –
Dz.U.) 2004, no. 173, item 1807.
9
Polish Law
The entrepreneur must observe rules of fair competition (as set by
EU regulations, which prohibit monopolistic practices, concentrated
(cartel) practices, dumping pricing policies, illegal concentration
etc.), follow regulations determining the terms and conditions of
economic activity (in particular, health and safety, public ethics and
environmental protection) and, where required by law, employ only
properly trained and skilled professionals.
Film Production
The basic legislation for film production is the Cinematography
Act of June 30, 2005 (Polish Official Journal 2005 No 132 item
1111). Poland is also a signatory of the European Convention on
Cinematographic Co-production of October 2, 1992.
The State supports the film industry in Poland. There are public
grants given for film production, selected festivals and events,
developing archives, education and professional training, as well as
for promotion of the Polish film industry abroad.
The key organization in the film industry is the Polish Film Institute,
set up under the Cinematography Act.
The Cinematography Act regulates issues related to the financing of
film production (feature, documentary and animation) and project
development. It sketches out the basic legal framework for the
functioning of the film market and provides clear legal definitions of
selected industry terms – e.g. producer, co-producer, film production
and film services.
Other important Polish film production regulations are e.g.:
Regulation of the Minister of Culture dated 27 October 2005
on the co-financing of cinematography undertakings by the
Polish Film Institute2 and the Regulation of the Minister of
Culture dated 24 November 2005 on the means of audit of
entities with reference to the use of additional project funding3.
Also applicable will be general rules of Polish civil law and copyright
law e.g. when formulating and signing option agreements, or
obtaining intellectual property rights to music and songs used in
films.
2. see: Regulation of the Minister of Culture dated 27 October 2005 on the co-financing of
cinematography undertakings by the Polish Institute, Dz.U. 2005, no. 219, item 1870; with
later amendments: Dz.U. 2006, no. 50, item 366 and Dz.U. 2006, no. 78, item 545.
10
There are no legal impediments for foreign entrepreneurs in terms
of autonomous economic activity in Poland, including the field of
film production, even for a single project. A producer from an EU
Member State will, however, naturally come across a number of
formalities to fulfil. Patience and forward-planning become key
factors when planning to establish some sort of cooperation with a
Polish co-producer, contributing financially or bringing the promising
option of acquiring non-returnable public funds, because (as
elsewhere) public institutions require some time to assess
additional project funding applications, in terms of both content
(script value assessment) and finances.
Autonomous Production
When undertaking autonomous production (i.e. without a
Polish counterpart) a foreign producer must first register its
economic activity based on the same regulations that apply to
Polish businesses. Tax is a separate issue. Foreign entrepreneurs
must set up a Polish office; hire qualified legal representatives and
an accounting service provider. This does not imply release of the
foreign entrepreneur from liability for legal and financial decisions.
Under Polish fiscal regulations (the Tax Ordinance Act and income
tax laws), as a business entity the foreign entrepreneur is
responsible for any transgressions.
Cooperation with a Polish Partner
Film production in Poland is much easier and more convenient
when cooperating with a Polish business partner. Such cooperation
can take two forms – either a service order or co-production, for
applicable projects and on condition that the foreign producer does
not lay claim to exclusive distribution rights. A Polish partner can be
helpful in obtaining funding from various public and private sources.
Aside from essential business confidence strengthened by a written
contract and ease of communication, the Polish partner should be
able to provide fast budgeting, prepare the shooting schedule and
index of production resources, present organizational options for
the pre-production, principal photography and post-production
stages, and should also be familiar with the film service and
technology market and respective financial alternatives (e.g. stock
3. see: Regulation of the Minister of Culture dated 24 November 2005 on the mode and method
of audit with reference to the use of additional project funding, Dz.U. 2005, no. 242, item
2044.
Polish Law
A well-constructed co-production agreement should regulate at
least the following matters: the budget, financing of the production,
management of the co-production, ownership rights (chain of title
is an issue of crucial importance) and matters related with
negatives, credits and so forth.
Additional Financing of the Film Production
Additional financing may be available, on application, from the
Polish Film Institute or Eurimages Fund. In the Polish Film Institute,
projects are judged by film experts on the following criteria: artistic,
cognitive and ethical values, meaning for national culture,
supporting Polish traditions and the Polish language, enriching
cultural diversity in Europe, expected effects of the planned
undertaking and, finally, the financial and economic terms of the
project’s realization. For Eurimages, the criteria are slightly different.
The following aspects of the projects are important: artistic merits,
experience of the director, the producers, the artistic team (authors,
scriptwriter, casting, etc.) and the crew members, circulation
potential of the project, its commercial potential, artistic and/or
technical co-operation between the co-producers, degree of
confirmed financing and the European character of the project.
Additional project funding from the Polish Film Institute can be
granted in the form of subsidies, loans or warranties, while financial
support from Eurimages takes the form of a conditionally repayable
interest-free loan.
Important issues in applying for co-production finance are the
number and origin of the co-producers, the character of
contributions (purely financial or otherwise) and the share (in
percentage terms) of individual contributions to the film budget.
Eurimages financing can be applied for by any natural or legal
person governed by legislation of one of Eurimages Fund’s
member states whose principal activity consists in producing
cinematographic works. There must be at least 2 co-producers from
two different member states of the Fund. Co-producers from
countries outside of the Eurimages Fund are accepted too, but their
combined percentage participation may not exceed 30% of the
total co-production budget;
Poland
The most common form of operating in the film industry is a
limited liability company (Polish abbreviation: sp. z o.o.). Every
company must submit an annual balance sheet and make various
other filings with the National Court Registry, e.g. regarding
changes of address of the company, management board members,
rules of representation etc. This data is publicly available and can
be helpful in assessing a company’s credibility.
Who Can Apply?

vs. magnetic film), not to mention a fully-functioning head office,
qualified staff and the all-important personal contacts.
Financing from the Polish Film Institute is also available to nonPolish individuals or legal entities carrying on cinematographic
activities, so long as they are from an EU or EFTA member state
(excluding Switzerland).
The Amounts
The maximum percentage of funding available in relation to the
overall budget is as a general rule 50% of the total budget, when
funding comes from the Polish Film Institute. It is a maximum 15%
of the total production cost (no more than € 700 000) from
Eurimages (for films with total production costs below € 1.5 million
– financial support shall not exceed 20%).
The Polish Film Institute processes additional project funding
applications within the framework of the relevant operational
programme four times a year. On average, the assessment
procedure lasts about three months; however, the entire period
between application approval and signing of the contract may
exceed six months. In relation to applications, foreign producers are
required to appear at meetings in Poland.
11
Polish Law
Fees and Taxes
Filming Permits
Certain fees are levied on foreign producers undertaking film
production in Poland, regardless of the form of cooperation with
Polish business partners. The most important of these are as
follows:
C advance on personal income tax (initial charges made upon
payment of wages);
C VAT on invoices from goods and service providers;
C social security contributions on employment contracts and mandate
contracts;
C advance on corporate income tax (if any)
Other occasional fees and taxes include legal fees (e.g. when
signing certain lease contracts; notary charges; court registry fees),
bank fees (bank transfers, loan servicing etc.), real estate taxes
(where applicable), local costs (e.g. permits for aerial photography
or entry to national parks), and others.
Generally, it is possible to film in any location.
The most common solution is to sign fixed term lease agreements
with clearly stated conditions of use. Unless specified in a fixed
tariff, rent is negotiable.
Permission often has to be obtained from property owners or local
authorities before filming can commence (and they have the right
to refuse). It is highly recommended to apply for any permits well
in advance, as certain procedures need to be finalized 30 days
prior to shooting.
Official procedures may be time-consuming, for instance for
permission to film in the street. When applying, the producer must
attach a plan for traffic reorganization and cordoning off of the
area.
When planning to shoot in decrepit buildings or in ruins, a positive
safety report must be commissioned for persons accessing the area
in order to obtain a permit to film.
Health Insurance
Work Permits
No work permit is required from EU or EEA citizens. Unless
otherwise stated in international agreements, production crew
members from other countries must obtain a work permit from the
regional “voivod” (Polish: Wojewoda) authorities.
Certain professionals – including musicians and actors (up to 30
days) – are allowed to work in Poland without any additional
permits.
All EU and EEA citizens are covered by public health insurance
in Poland.
Film Production Insurance
Completion bonds are generally uncommon in Poland. During
production, the film crew and equipment must be covered by third
party and accident insurance, for which most insurance companies
in Poland offer a wide range of services.
State Aid
The State can provide entrepreneurs with public aid only on
terms and in forms clearly stated in separate provisions. Public aid
must be granted in particular with respect to the rules of fair
competition and equal rights.

This resulted in a rapid increase in the number of films being
produced in 2006 and in inducing the interest of foreign
filmmakers in co-productions and film services in Poland. The Polish
Film Institute actively promotes Polish cinema on the international
level. A foreign film producer, festival manager or international
project coordinator looking for Polish partners should turn to the
Polish Film Institute for financial consulting and assistance in
contacting interested parties.
Funding
The Polish Film Institute has an annual budget of over 25
million EUR, partially funded by a 1.5% levy imposed on TV,
cinema and cable operators. The Polish Film Institute awards
grants not only for film production, but also other fields of
the industry, including film promotion, dissemination of film
culture, professional training and film distribution. In 2007
the Polish Film Institute granted over 15 million EUR for film
production alone. In 2008 this quota will increase to almost
18 million EUR. In most cases, the Polish Film Institute grants
funding up to 50% of the total production budget.
Poland participates in the two foremost European programmes for
supporting the audiovisual industry – Eurimages and the European
Union’s MEDIA 2007 programme. Warsaw is home to Media Desk
Poland, which assists producers in completing forms and settling
the accounts for projects supported by MEDIA.
One of the key investors in film is Polish Television (Telewizja
Polska SA). It is to date the largest film producer in Poland.
However, commercial TV channels, including Canal+, TVN and
occasionally Polsat and HBO Polska also participate in film
production.
Production
Poland
The year 2005 saw the introduction of the Act on
Cinematography in Poland and the launch of the Polish Film
Institute. The new film law determines the extent of State
involvement in film production and other areas of the industry.
A foreign producer seeking Polish production partners has a wide
range of possibilities. There are a number of businesses
specializing in film production services. Most of them focus on
a particular field – be it feature, documentary or animation
production. Although the majority of players in the film industry
consists of private businesses, among them most production,
distribution and exhibition companies, there is also a number of
State-owned film establishments, a unique element of the
structure of the Polish film industry. These regional organizations,
currently undergoing ownership transformation, include some of
Poland’s largest film studios, small-scale animation studios and film
production units1. However the ownership structure is not at all
a key factor, as all Polish private and public entities are eligible for
public funding.
Film Production
Guide 2008
Polish Cinema Today
The Polish market of film-related services is well-developed and
many producers choose to make use of existing facilities, which
saves them the cost of investing in developing their own production
base. There are numerous companies that specialize in services for
various stages of production, from casting, lighting equipment and
special effects to editing, sound production and finally subtitling.
Only a few major studios have complex facilities, offering everything
from soundstages to editing services.
Distribution
The film distribution and exhibition market is slightly more
concentrated, with approximately a dozen key players. Most film
distribution companies have a complex approach to their film
product, dealing with everything from cinema distribution to
television sales and the DVD market. Polish independent film
distribution companies have also recently been increasing their
involvement in film production, contributing to the film budget and
subsequently acquiring picture rights. This form of co-production
has proven very effective and will undoubtedly continue to gain in
importance.
1. In Polish terminology film production companies are often referred to as Studios (Polish: Studio
filmowe), whereas film studios are commonly known under the term Wytwórnia.
15
Film Industry
The Polish distribution market itself is dominated by Hollywood
studios and their affiliates – UIP, Forum Film (Buena Vista
International), Imperial CinePix (20th Century Fox) and Warner Bros.
Apart from these major players, there are a few local companies
that play a key role in the market. Two of them deserve special
mention, the first being Interfilm – an independent distribution
company that reached blockbuster success with Jan Pawe∏ II / Pope
John Paul II (2006) and a number of local romantic comedies. The
second company is Gutek Film, credited with familiarizing Polish
audiences with the works of some of the world’s most prominent
filmmakers, including Lars von Trier and Pedro Almodovar.
In 2007, the Association of Polish Filmmakers and several leading
film producers jointly founded a foundation known as Film Polski. It
was established to promote Polish films in Poland and abroad, but
also to handle their distribution.The first film distributed by Film
Polski was Twists of Fate by Jerzy Stuhr.
Exhibition
The number of cinemas in Poland today is approx. 700, of
which 59 are multiplex cinemas and another five are IMAX. In
recent years the number of multiplex cinemas has been increasing
steadily. Unfortunately this brought on the inevitable drop in the
number of single-screen cinemas, although funding from the Polish
Film Institute can help improve their situation in the future.
Thanks to participation in the EUROPA CINEMAS framework, some
cinemas in major cities are able to focus on arthouse films, while
the mainstream multiplex venues focus on first run pictures.
Exhibition of arthouse films is also being developed through the
Arthouse Cinema Network (Sieç Kin Studyjnych), financed by the
Polish Film Institute and run by the National Film Archive.
In 2007, a record 13 new multiplex cinemas were opened
throughout Poland.
In 2008 only 6 multiplexes will be opened in Poland's major
agglomerations - the market is now saturated and investors are
more interested in launching cinemas in smaller cities.
Cinema City, Poland's leading chain of cinemas, opened five
multiplexes in 2007, but will only open another two in 2008: one
in Zielona Góra and another in Bydgoszcz.
Helios Film Centre has plans to launch two large cinemas in
Białystok and two smaller ones in Płock and Dàbrowa Górnicza.
16
While not planning any launches this year, Silver Screen is also
working on four projects in smaller cities. They are to be opened
within a few years.
National Film Archive
The Polish National Film Archive (Filmoteka Narodowa) is
located in Warsaw. It is in fact the largest film archive in Poland,
collecting and preserving film prints, and running a large library of
cinematic literature and press.
Film Schools
Education for film professionals is one of the fastest growing
segments of the film industry in Poland. Apart from the two leading
schools: the renowned National Film Television & Theatre School
(PWSFTiT) in ¸ódê, the Radio and Television Department of the
Silesian University (Uniwersytet Âlàski) in Katowice and several
prestigious acting schools, young filmmakers can also study
film-related fields at most art schools and universities.
Copyright Law
The key industry collective rights organization in Poland is the
Association of Polish Filmmakers, actively cooperating with
respective parties abroad and representing film directors,
cinematographers, set designers and writers. Another authors’
association is ZAiKS, representing mostly writers and composers.
Copyright management organizations are increasingly effective in
securing royalties; however internet piracy remains a major
problem.
Film Events
There is a growing number of film festivals, educational
programmes and other activities aimed at developing film culture in
Poland. The largest international film festivals in Poland are the
Warsaw Film Festival, Era New Horizons in Wroc∏aw and the
documentary Krakow Film Festival. The national Polish Film Festival
takes place annually in Gdynia and is a week-long presentation of
recent film production in Poland. Apart from the major events, there
is certainly more happening on the smaller, regional scale. Most
major cities make efforts to be actively involved in film events,
which could be useful for foreign festival coordinators seeking
cooperation with Polish partners that could help obtain EU funding
for their projects.
Film Industry
Guilds and Unions
The key professional organization in Poland is the Association
of Polish Filmmakers (SFP) and the National Chamber of
Audiovisual Producers (KIPA); however there is also a considerable
number of actor guilds and trade unions for film professionals.
In November 2007 the Polish director Andrzej Maleszka received
an Emmy award for his television series The Magic Tree.
Over 20 features, 20 documentaries and eight animated films
produced in Poland received awards at film festivals around the
world.
For an index of the film industry in Poland see the business directory section of this chapter.
(see list of awards on page 108)
Awards and Nominations
With a budget of approximately 4.2 million EUR, the historic
Katyn by Academy Award winner Andrzej Wajda was undoubtedly
the main event of 2007 in Polish cinema. Katyn, produced by
Akson Studio and the Polish-British co-production by Se-Ma-For
entitled Peter & the Wolf (with a budget of 2.7 million EUR) have
been nominated for the 2008 Academy Awards.
Poland
The years 2000 to 2004 saw a significant decrease in the
number of feature film productions in Poland. Although the official
number was over 20, these were mostly low-budget indie
productions or TV movies. The low number of feature productions
was the result of a shortage of public funding. The new Film Law
and the launch of the Polish Film Institute led to reversing this
trend and marked an increase in film production over the last two
years.
By 2006, feature film production in Poland increased to almost 40
films per year. These are mostly medium-budget productions of
approximately 800,000 EUR. A low-budget feature debut usually
costs approx. 300,000 EUR. The biggest budgets in recent years
went to high-profile epic productions based on classic novels.
These include Quo Vadis (21 million EUR), Ogniem i mieczem /
With Fire and Sword (6 million EUR), PrzedwioÊnie / The Spring to
Come (5.8 million EUR) and Pan Tadeusz (3.4 million EUR). These
pictures were largely film versions of national epics and as such
were virtually guaranteed to be a box office success. The films
made today are modestly budgeted, set in the present day and
dealing with modern issues and universal values. In 2006 these
included The Collector by Feliks Falk, Saviour’s Square by Krzysztof
Krauze and Joanna Kos-Krauze and Day of the Wacko by Marek
Koterski, in 2007 – Hania by Janusz Kamiƒski, 33 sceny z ˝ycia by
Małgorzata Szumowska, Fur by Tomek Drozdowicz, Twists of Fate
by Jerzy Stuhr and many others.
Recent years have also marked the success of many up-andcoming filmmakers. It is these young people that are changing the
face of Polish cinema today. Debut features have often become
popular with cinema audiences, but also gained critical acclaim,
winning awards at Polish and international festivals. Pr´gi / The

Retrieval, Poland’s 2006 Oscar entry from S∏awomir Fabicki are all
superb examples of such films. One of the most promising
filmmakers is Andrzej Jakimowski. His two first feature films (Zmru˝
oczy / Squint Your Eyes and more recently Sztuczki / Tricks)
received a considerable number of awards at Polish and
international film festivals. Another acclaimed recent Polish feature
is Rezerwat / Preserve by Łukasz Palkowski.
When looking at mainstream production, it is impossible to overlook
the key role played by romantic comedies, which often reach
blockbuster success at the box office and later on the DVD market.
Recent hits include Dlaczego nie! / Why not!, Nigdy w ˝yciu! /
Never ever!, Tylko mnie kochaj / Just Love Me, Ja wam poka˝´! / I’ll
Show You! and Francuski numer / French Number. Early 2008 will
bring several new premieres, including Jeszcze raz, Rozmowy nocà,
Mała Wielka MiłoÊç / Expecting Love and Nie kłam kochanie.

Film Production In Poland 2005-2007.
An Overview
The introduction of the new Film Law and the international activity
of the Polish Film Institute helped to increase interest of foreign
filmmakers in Poland as a potential partner for co-production. In
2005 alone six films were co-productions, a further eight in 2006
and currently eleven more are in production. Poland has
participated in the production of Strike by Volker Schlöndorff,
Nightwatching by Peter Greenaway, John Kent Harrison’s Pope John
Paul II and most recently in the newest feature from Ken Loach
(It's a Free World...).

Cinema Attendance in Poland 2005-2007
Current trends in the Polish cinema market are similar to those
in other European countries. The biggest box office and attendance
success goes to Hollywood blockbusters that reach similar status
worldwide. However, much like in other countries of Central Europe
(Hungary, Czech Republic) the past year marked a significant rise
in admissions to local films. In Poland these were mainly mediumbudget romantic comedies. One thing unique in Poland is the
incredible popularity of film biographies of Pope John Paul II (three
Top 10 box office hits of 2005-2006) and of films considered
historically significant.
2005
The year 2005 marked a global decrease in cinema attendance,
with an almost 30% drop in Poland when compared to the record
year 2004. Although the number of films released in cinemas
increased to a record 224, this found no reflection in attendance or
revenue. Total admissions were at 23.3 million, revenues at
331.6 million PLN (approx. 103 million USD). The share of
European films in the market also reached an unprecedented 23%,
with a record number of 72 premieres. This was a result of
Poland's entry into the European Union and subsequent MEDIA
funding for film distributors. As for Polish films, there were 24
premieres that year (more than in two previous years), however
none reached blockbuster status. This was to change in 2006.
The biggest film of 2005 was rather unexpectedly the made-for-TV
movie Karol. Człowiek, który został papie˝em / Karol: A Man Who
Became Pope, with almost 1.9 million viewers. Eight of the Top 10
films of 2005 were Hollywood productions.
2006
2006 was a much better season for the cinema market in Poland.
Admissions increased by about 30%. Nine Polish films had an
attendance of over 200,000 viewers, whereas in 2005 no single
Polish feature achieved such results. Again, the largest cinema
success was held by made-for-TV movies. Apart from 2005's Karol:
A Man Who Became Pope, two other TV movies about the Polish
pope reached blockbuster status, filling slots 2 and 3 of the Top
10 list.
The Top 20 list included 12 children's movies and three Polish
features (two of them in the Top 10). Polish features held a share
18
of 16% of total admissions (compared to 3.4% in 2005).
The number of releases increased slightly to 236, including 27
Polish titles. Six of the Top 10 films were made in Hollywood.
2007
The year 2007 brought a further increase in cinema attendance
and an ever growing popularity of Polish films. Total admissions
reached the level of 32.6 million, and the Top 3 films included two
Polish features – Katyn (2.74 million viewers) and Testosteron /
Testosterone (1.36 million). A record five Polish films made it into
the Top 10. They varied in genres – from historical dramas (Katyn)
to comedies (Testosterone and RyÊ), romantic comedies (Dlaczego
nie! / Why Not!) and crime (Âwiadek koronny / State Witness). In
addition, the record-breaking Katyn was screened on 189 prints,
whereas State Witness, the last on this list, had a mere 81 prints.
The success of Andrzej Wajda's Katyn is unquestionable. This was a
film awaited by the entire Polish audience. Its results placed it in the
Top 10 of most popular movies since 1989.
The only other films to achieve such high attendance in 2007 were
movies for young audiences, including three animated films. The
biggest hit was Shrek the Third, others included Harry Potter and
the Order of the Phoenix, Ratatouille, Pirates of the Caribbean: At
World's End and Bee Movie.
Polish Cinema Tomorrow
In mid-2007 the first digital cinema was opened in Poland. This
number soon increased and several cinemas also introduced digital
3D technology. Market analysts are certain that the development of
digital cinema will be very dynamic and by 2013 nearly half of the
cinemas in the world will be digital.
Digital technology in the cinema means not only better quality,
longer print life and considerable savings for film distributors. It will
also influence a further development of the cinema market and film
selection. It is estimated that the share of Polish films in the market
will continue to increase. More mainstream productions are
expected, while artistic cinema will continue to receive support from
the Polish Film Institute. Early 2008 will see the release of four
romantic comedies, one period movie, one drama and even a horror
film – a genre absent from Polish cinema for years.

and Eastern Europe. The company develops this network under
two trade marks – Cinema City and IMAX®, in Poland, the Czech
Republic, Hungary and Bulgaria. The corporation manages 508
screening rooms in 61 multiplex cinemas. In Europe, the network
owns 40 multiplexes with a total of 388 screening rooms. In
addition, the company runs seven 3D IMAX® cinemas.
Between June 2004 and June 2006, Cinema City opened 11
multiplexes (including 3 IMAX®). Most newly opened cinemas are
located in Poland, which has recently become the major market
for the chain. Cinema City has venues in the following cities:
Warsaw, Krakow, Wroc∏aw, Ruda Âlàska, Poznaƒ, ¸ódê, Gdaƒsk,
Katowice, Toruƒ, Płock, Lublin, Rybnik and Cz´stochowa, with
plans to open new multiplexes in other cities.
Aside from box-office receipts, the company generates profit from
film distribution (Disney pictures), advertising and properties.
Cinema City recently acquired the Kinepolis cinema in Poznaƒ, the
largest multiplex in Europe in terms of area (56,000 sq. m).
Kinepolis has 18 screening rooms with a total of 7,500 seats.
The Helios Film Centre is a network of cinemas established in
1993 based on the cinemas located in Łódê. In 2006 the
company managed 13 cinemas (a total of 50 screening rooms,
with 13,500 seats, in 11 cities in Poland); the network includes:
*
40 screening rooms in multiplexes with an average number
of 260 seats per room;
*
10 screens in traditional cinemas;
with plans to open new complexes (e.g. in Wrocław, Białystok, and
Poznaƒ).
In 2007 Helios acquired 100% shares in another cinema
company, the Warsaw-based Kinoplex. As a result of this merger,
Helios now holds 23% of the multiplex market and is one of the
top three cinema chains in Poland. Currently the company
manages 18 cinemas, with a total of 85 screens and over 20,000
seats in 17 cities throughout Poland, including. Gniezno, Kalisz,
Katowice, Konin, Łódê (two cinemas), Olsztyn, Piotrków
Trybunalski, Radom, Rzeszów, Sosnowiec, Szczecin and
Włocławek. The Helios SA company co-operates closely with the
largest distribution companies, e.g. UIP, ITI, Warner Bros, SPI,
Imperial CinePix, and Forum Film.

Poland’s largest festival for debut films of Polish and international
filmmakers. It is also an important forum of debate between
filmmakers and young audiences. For many debuting filmmakers,
this is the first occasion to confront their artistic vision of the
world with the public. A number of side events take place during
the festival, including Q&A sessions, seminars, workshops, special
presentations, music concerts and theatrical performances.
The Koszalin Debut Films Festival “The Young and Cinema” has
an international and Polish competition section. The former is a
competition of feature films, whereas the latter focuses on student
films from Polish film schools.

Film City
Next Media/PISF
2008 will see the start of construction of the new
Film City in Nowe Miasto on the Pilica river. It is to be
the largest high-tech film studio in Europe. The costs
of construction are estimated at 100 million EUR.
Nowe Miasto is located in central Poland, a mere 80 km from
Warsaw. Over the next few years the town will become the centre
of Polish film production and international co-production. The Film
City will have about 200 permanent employees, increasing up to
1500 during film production.
10 sound stages will be built on an area of 23,016 sq. metres.
They will vary in size and equipment, the largest of them with an
area of approximately 12,000 sq. metres. Other facilities on the
premises will include a set design department and workshop
(woodworking, upholstery, stucco), a film car construction and
repair workshop, a costume workshop, as well as special units for
special effects and manufacturing swords and armour. In addition,
there be stables and housing for small animals, glass works, laundry
facilities, storage units and rental facilities for furniture, props,
vehicles, costumes, weapons and lighting.
114
There are also plans to establish a Film Technology School within
the Film City, which will train professional set designers and
craftsmen, hair and make-up artists.
The Film City is designed to house everything that facilitates film
production. The studio will have its own office space and
accommodation facilities, a coffee house and restaurant, a golf
course, tennis courts, a swimming pool and heliport. It will also be
home to a number of catering firms, talent agencies, film production
and post-production companies.
One of the many assets of the location of the Film City is its vast
area and natural beauty. This creates the opportunity to construct
exterior sets, enabling the simultaneous work of up to five film
crews.
The first projects filmed in the new Film City will be two films about
the Warsaw Uprising. Two backlots will be constructed for these
projects – a lot of pre-WWII Warsaw and city ruins.
