EUROPA CINEMAS - film theatre network
focusing on European film
20% of support to cinemas members of the Europa
Cinemas network is attributed to encourage exhibitors’ initiatives toward young audiences.
Notably, this support takes into consideration specific
programming in terms of European films and screenings geared toward young audiences and school pupils. Also considered are exhibitors’ activities, publications, mailings and promotion for the films and
screenings, as well as participation in joint activities
developed at the national or European level. This
support is attributed proportionally to the number
of screens benefiting from support. If more than 5
screens benefit from support, the Young Audience
support is limited at 5,000 euros per year and per
convention.
Every year, since 2005, a Young Audience Seminar
has been organized by Europa Cinemas during the
Il Cinema Ritrovato festival located at the Cineteca
di Bologna.

Regional Film Funds
Regional film funds is an initiative of local authorities aimed at the players of the film industry. Typically, the local authority reserve a certain amount in
the budget for funding film or films, then announce
open competition for the script, evaluate submitted
projects and grant money to the producers. An absolute requirement of participation in the competition,
and thus – to receive a grant – is to link the content
of the film (its story, in case of feature film or theme
– in case of a documentary) with the region. In this
way the authorities invest in the promotion of their
region, since the region will be shown in the film
and the film, in turn, will be screened at international
festivals. And additional advantage is that often a
prerequisite for receiving the grant is to spend some
of it in the region (eg. for the purchase of services),
which revives the local economy, and the production
itself, which must take place in the region, creates
additional jobs.

Virtual Vision S.A.
VIRTUAL VISION SA produces 3D stereoscopic animated film and tv serials aimed for the youngest
viewers and the whole family intended for worldwide distribution. The studio is equipped with television equipment and a system of MOCAP (motion
capture), which enables actors to simulate the movements of any person. Actor’s moves are then transmitted by a computer program to his digital alter-ego
or any other figure. This technology allows you to
create virtual actors in real time. VIRTUAL VISION
proceeded to its first production of the animated film
by purchasing the film rights to a book by Paul Shipton Bug Muldoon.
On 12 May 2010 VIRTUAL VISION has signed a longterm agreement with the Polish Film Institute (PISF).
Taking into account the strategic and long-term cooperation, Virtual Vision S.A. plans to bring the company’s listing onto the main market of the Stock Exchange and organize public issues of new shares and
the funds thus acquired together with PISF to allocate
into the production of a series of films, especially
animated films for family audience. Obtained funds
are to be spend not only on the projects produced
by the company, but also on films made by other
independent Polish producers and on international
co-production film projects.

The history of little green Creature, who travels the world to find the green river, which, in contrast to
the gray river, whose banks are inhibited by gray creatures, show him his own, and so green reflection.
Wandering through various lands becomes an excuse to get to know the various relationships between
the hero and the world around it, discover and understand the multiple lines of tensions that arise
between an individual and collectivity: the inhabitants of the blue land, perceiving the Creature as the
apostate (different, alien), want to make it blue; inhabitants of the red land recognize its diversity as a
sign of royalty and surround it with royal glory etc. The theatrical adaptation has been made out of it
(work exhibited in several theaters: Lalka in Warsaw, Teatr Lalek in Bialystok, Banialuka in Bielsko-Biała).

The story about roots and identity. A young boy with and his parents move to an old tenement house.

have to move out. Anecdote of an adventurous character becomes a parable about childhood home,
which needs to be abandoned, but which stays with us for the rest of our lives.
2.
Paweł Beręsewicz, Co tam u Ciumków?, Skrzat Publishing House
This and subsequent volumes of the cycle show in a funny way ordinary life of a loving family - warm, cheerful,
cordial. Humor comes primarily from the relationships between generations. The book not only allows you to
love Ciumki, but also your own home, see warmth in it and allow one to understand that humor comes from
maturity and distance a man keeps towards everything that happens to him and to every person he meets
in his life. The latest volume - Warsaw. Walking with Ciumki – is about several family trips through the city.

Krzysztof Petek, series: Porachunki z przygodą, Siedmioróg Publishing House
Highly-read author highly, favorite among younger teens. Porachunki z przygodą is the longest series of
his books (the other series: Gra, Operacja HYDRA). Very dynamic plots, schemes based on crome and
thriller stories. The mood of the vast, colorful adventure, the young heroes in the roles of detectives and
rangers, well-described contemporary background, colorful characters, dynamic dialogues.
10. Dorota Terakowska, Babci Brygidy szalona podróż po Krakowie.
Dzień i noc czarownicy, Wydawnictwo Literacki Publishing House
The book released in such a way that you can read it from two sides: each side starts with its own story;
these are the first and the last children’s story written by Terakowska. Both are fairy-tales. The first one
is about the frantic journey through Krakow. The second one is a deep, moving reflection on order of
good and evil, life and death. The first one is ‘funny, delusive and scary’ the second one touches and
moves you deeply.

Grażyna Bąkiewicz, O Melba!, Prószyński i S-ka Publishing House
Very contemporary novel about a contemporary teenage girl and a very contemporary family. An intriguing, full of reflection story, it combines a serious tone with humor. The trilogy continues in volumes: the
state of feverishness, and I will be in Clare. All volumes treat about serious problems encountered by
modern teenagers: misunderstandings in the family, “stillness” of life in a small town, death, drugs...

Jacek Dukaj, Wroniec, Wydawnictwo Literackie Publishing House
Close in the atmosphere to Caroll’s Alice in Wonderland fantasy tale of martial law, addressed to readers
of all ages - both those for which the martial law was the historical experience (it is fun to them to be
able to recognize events, characters and hints), and for those without any memory of martial law (for
them Wroniec is a story about little Adam, whose family is kidnapped by Wroniec and who needs to
defeat the enemy to regain his family).

sentimentality, essentially an analysis of drama of a girl in a world where Barbie doll is the measure
of attractiveness. There are also other problems - domestic violence in the family of one of the heroes,
environmental tensions. Follow-up: Karolina HL zakochana.

Grzegorz Gortat, Szczury i wilki, Nasza Księgarnia Publishing House
Intriguing novel, raises questions about the contemporary face of anti-Semitism. Its protagonist, fifteenyear-old Henry, is associated with neo-nazi movement, participates in the barbaric murder of a man who
did not have “pure blood”, and after a while defends the violated girl. Contemporary scenes intertwine
with the images from the extermination camp in Auschwitz – the inhuman conditions of life and death
which contrast with pure, noble heroism of camp’s everyday life. Without a doubt the most important
initiation novel of the past decade.
