<strong>Polish</strong> Film institute Programmes<br />
1. Film Production<br />
2010 quota: 88 million Pln ( ~ 22 million eur)<br />
This programme is aimed at supporting film production<br />
at all stages of the process – from developing the screenplay<br />
to the actual shooting and post-production. Support is given<br />
to <strong>Polish</strong> films and international co-productions (including<br />
those with a minority <strong>Polish</strong> partner), auteur films, directorial<br />
debuts, films based on scripts awarded in competitions<br />
of the <strong>Polish</strong> Film Institute, and films that were co-financed<br />
by the <strong>Polish</strong> Film Institute at the development stage.<br />
Funding through the Film Production Programme is<br />
available to: producers of full-length films (feature,<br />
documentary and animated; more than 70 minutes in length)<br />
intended primarily for theatrical release; producers of midlength<br />
documentaries (40-70 minutes) and animated films<br />
(15-40 minutes); and producers of short documentaries<br />
(under 40 minutes) and animated films (under 15 minutes).<br />
As of November 23, 2009<br />
An increase in funding is available to the producers of films<br />
awarded at film festivals in Poland and abroad.<br />
Funding for a co-production can be increased by up to<br />
35%, as long as the total amount will comply with<br />
the percentage limitations. The percentage limitations for<br />
international co-productions are calculated based on the total<br />
financial participation of the <strong>Polish</strong> partner, although<br />
in the case of films with a special significance for <strong>Polish</strong><br />
culture or for promoting Poland, the General Director of the<br />
<strong>Polish</strong> Film Institute can lower the percentage limit to cover<br />
the whole budget. In the case of films with a <strong>Polish</strong> citizen as<br />
director, screenwriter and lead actor, cinematographer or<br />
production designer, the percentage limits are calculated<br />
based on the whole budget. Funding awarded to a <strong>Polish</strong><br />
producer with minority shares in an international coproduction<br />
cannot exceed 2 million PLN ( ~ 500,000 EUR) for<br />
a European full-length feature film, and 1.5 million PLN<br />
( ~ 375,000 EUR) for a non-European full-length feature film.<br />
Among co-productions with <strong>Polish</strong> producers as minority<br />
shareholders, priority is given to full-length projects. The Film<br />
Production Programme has four objectives.
