the film fund<br />
Before the film fund was established in 2008, the local authorities already had substantial experience in financing<br />
film production in the region. Recently supported productions include Droga do raju by Gerwazy Reguła and Mała<br />
Moskwa (Little Moscow) by Waldemar Krzystek, awarded the Grand Prix at the 2008 Polish Film Festival in Gdynia.<br />
The first regional film competition was announced in 2008. Its organization and budget was placed in the trust of<br />
the Odra-Film regional cultural organization. The first projects co-produced under this scheme were features Afonia<br />
i pszczoły by Jan Jakub Kolski and Nie będziesz wiedział by Ewa Stankiewicz, as well as the animated film<br />
Przebudzenie by Wojciech Majewski.<br />

Budget<br />
The budget for the regional film competition in 2008<br />
was set at 2 million PLN (560,000 EUR) and was not divided<br />
between different types of production. The authorities have<br />
declared that as of <strong>2009</strong> the allocated budget will gradually<br />
increase. There are also plans to modify the requirement of<br />
spending part of the budget in the region.<br />
entry conditions<br />
The Film Fund provides funding for the production of<br />
feature, documentary and animated films. Financing is<br />
available to projects related to the region through their<br />
shooting location or participation of local individuals and<br />
enterprises. Up to 50% of the film budget can be subsidized,<br />
with at least 10% of the budget being covered by funds other<br />
than public funding. Regardless of the amount of received<br />
support, Odra-Film becomes the co-producer of supported<br />
projects and 50% of the budget must be spent within the<br />
region.<br />
Competition applications are assessed by experts –<br />
three for feature projects, two in the case of documentaries
