Welcome Drink co-hosted by Regional Film Funds in Poland

Join us and Regional Film Funds representatives for a welcome drink. Spend a nice time in a less formal atmosphere and meet the people from the Regional Film Funds in Poland.

About Regional Film Funds in Poland:

Regional Film Funds started operating in Poland over 15 years ago. Twelve currently operating funds are located in the structures of local government cultural institutions or offices throughout the country. By the end of 2023, the RFFs had co-financed a total of 825 films, to the tune of more than PLN 100 million. Alongside the Polish Film Institute, they are one of the most important sources of public support for audiovisual productions in Poland, thus playing an important role in the development of cinematography and the shaping and strengthening of the cultural sector. Through the obligation to disburse funds received from the RFF in the region, the funds contribute significantly to the development of the local film environment and support the regional film industry.

They have a positive impact on the local economy by generating increased employment and expenditure, as well as building a positive image for the region and its tourism potential. The funds undertake and engage in a range of initiatives beyond their core business. Examples include the Film for Climate initiative, which aims to neutralise the environmental impact of the audiovisual industry, as well as film trails, screenwriting competitions, industry events and festivals.

Welcome Drink is co-hosted by Mazovia Warsaw Film Commission, Łódź Film Commission, Silesian Film Fund, Podkarpackie Regional Film Fund, Krakow Film Fund and Malopolska Film Fund of the Small Forms.
