You are cordially invited to a workshop on the film and media industry entitled Competitiveness in the European Film Market. 20th Anniversary of the Polish Film Institute. The workshop aims to examine competitiveness in an institutional dimension, emphasizing the formation of film policy and the role of public institutions in supporting the film industry, with a particular focus on the Polish Film Institute (PISF) activities.
Description:
The workshop will address issues of film production financing, the impact of streaming platforms on the cinema market, the role of international co-productions and promotional and distribution strategies that can increase the global reach of Polish productions.
