New Polish Films 2006 New Polish Films 2006 1 2 New Polish Films 2006 It is my great pleasure to present, on behalf of the Polish Film Institute, this up-to-date catalogue of new Polish films. I am convinced that this exhaustive survey of modern Polish cinema is a better invitation to collaboration than any words could be. Here you will discover the number and range of movies being made in modern day Poland and the extent of talent and resources behind them. This publication also provides you with useful information about the film industry in Poland, including the most important address: that of the Polish Film Institute. You are always welcome - filmmakers, producers, buyers, journalists - to get professional guidance and information about Polish film and movie making in Poland, a country with modern film legislation, attractive locations, an extensive pool of talent in all film professions - the right place for your next co-production project. Agnieszka Odorowicz General Director Polish Film Institute It’s been over a half of century since I started making films in Poland. During the course of those years, I have witnessed great triumphs but likewise painful falls in our cinematography. I have seen international successes as well as periods of almost complete absence from the world scene. Today, I look with great joy as Polish filmmakers - both my more experienced collegues and most importantly - the younger genaration, have been granted an opportunity which not only enables them to make movies but will also enable those movies to be shown to international audiences. This is possible thanks to the new film legislation in Poland. I am sure we - the filmmakers, will be able to take advantage of it and Polish cinematography will be talked about all over the world, the way it used to be. This catalogue of new Polish films is a great testimony to these prospects. Andrzej Wajda Poland is a country exceptionally rich in talented filmmakers, a country with tradition and experience. It is simply the best suited country in the region to expand its own film production as well as to provide various services in this area to others. What was missing, until recently, were the right financial and organizational structures of cinematography. But now these things will be provided for, thanks to the newly passed Act of Cinematography and the recently founded Polish Film Institute. So, the future belongs to us, the filmmakers...
