Poland also takes pride in numbers of talented and highly skilled cinematographers working on both sides of the Atlantic, including Academy Award winner Janusz Kaminski and European Film Award winner Pawel Edelman, to name only the two among many. It is amazing to realize how many Polish filmmakers – not only DOPs, but also art directors, costume designers, composers, actors etc. – contribute to major international productions, gaining critical acclaim and winning prestigious awards worldwide. They did not appear out of nowhere. Today Poland has a modern film industry, rich not only in talents but also in opportunities for successful collaboration: virginal unexplored locations; state-of-the-art technical facilities; skilled crew members for every department of production and post-production; experienced production companies specializing in international projects and a well developed system of public support. It is no wonder that more and more foreign producers and crews choose Poland as the place for their projects. In 2006 alone, their ranks included David Lynch (Inland Empire), Volker Schlöndorff (Strike), Peter Greenaway (Nightwatching) and Ken Loach (These Times). There was even a crew from India, shooting a Bollywood film in the Tatra Mountains disguised as Kashmir... Jan Kaczmarek with the Oscar You can be next.

It presents a complete and comprehensive overview of the country and its audiovisual sector, allowing every film professional – be it a producer, investor, director, art director or casting director – quick and easy access to all the necessary practical information in various fields – from co-production opportunities, locations, the legal framework of film production, contact information for companies in all areas of filmmaking, hotels in every region of Poland and basic data about the market, down to the exact hours of sunrise and sunset in every month of the year. Are you looking for dramatic mountain landscape or a serene countryside with horses on lakeside pastures? Do you want to find picturesque coastal cliffs? Or perhaps a desert (maybe not as big as the Sahara, but located much closer)? You will find it here. Are you looking for a medieval castle or a town street lined with fine examples of baroque architecture? Perhaps you are searching for a deserted mining town or a 19th century textile factory still equipped with working machinery? You will find it here. Are you looking for modern city landscapes filled with skyscrapers? Or the post-industrial slums of the city? Or maybe you need several hundreds of extras, playing striking factory workers one day, and Napoleonic soldiers the next? A symphonic orchestra and one hundred choir voices to perform and record your music? It can be done here. How? This guide will let you find out. Now for the most fundamental question: are you looking for money for your production or – alternatively – thinking about a good place for investment? Here you will find out about the Polish financing system, the legal and financial regulations, and who to contact for information and assistance in making your Polish venture successful. As of 2005, Poland has a new film law and a system of financial support that not only boosts the domestic film industry, but also remains open to ideas coming from any corner of the world. Try us. Come to Poland. You are welcome here.

The geographic coordinates of Poland are latitudes from 49°00’ to 54°50’ N and longitudes from 14°07’ to 24°08’ E. The geometrical centre of Europe lies in the vicinity of Poland’s capital, Warsaw. Spanning 649 km north-to-south and 689 km east-towest, Poland is also the site of the geologic division between the eastern and western European continental blocks. The total land area of Poland is 312,685 km2, with a territorial sea of 8,700 km2 and another 1,200 km2 of the inlets of the Oder (Szczecin) Lagoon and Vistula Lagoon. In terms of area, Poland is the 63rd largest country in the world, and the 9th largest in Europe. The total length of Poland’s borders is 3,582 km, whereof (clockwise from north): 528 km is the coastline, 210 km borders on the Russian Federation, 103 km – Lithuania, 416 km – Belarus, 529 km – Ukraine, 539 km – Slovakia, 790 km – the Czech Republic and 467 km – Germany. Poland is in the Central European Time Zone (GMT + 1), along with a number of European countries, including Spain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary. From March to October Poland observes Daylight Saving Time (GMT + 2). Topography and Landscape Poland lies in the eastern part of the geomorphological region of the Northern European Lowlands and thus over 90% of Poland’s area is of a lowland nature. The average altitude is 173 m, with the highest elevation being the Rysy peak (2,499 m) of the Tatra Mountains and the lowest depression lying in the northern region of ˚u∏awy WiÊlane (1.8 m below sea level). There are three key mountain chains in Poland – the Carpathian, the Sudeten, and the Âwi´tokrzyskie (sometimes referred to as the Holy Cross Mountains). At 1,037 km, Vistula is Poland’s longest river. There are over 9,000 lakes exceeding 1 hectare in size, of which the deepest are Haƒcza (108.5 m), Drawsko, Wielki Staw Polski, Czarny Staw and Wigry. The Polish landscape is rather diversified, with a layered structure of geographical regions. The coastline is fairly smooth, whereas the coast itself usually flat, with occasional sand reefs, water inlets, sand dunes, sandy beaches and also some precipitous cliffs. Northern Poland abounds in lakes, with the Vistula river separating them into two regions – Pojezierze Mazurskie (the plentiful region often called “The Land of the Great Mazurian Lakes”) in the east and Pojezierze Pomorskie in the west. In the central part of Poland are the Central Lowlands, with three distinct regions – Nizina Po∏udniowowielkopolska in the southwest, the Silesian Lowland (Nizina Âlàska) in the south and the central Mazovia (Nizina Mazowiecka). The southern part of Poland is highly diverse in terms of geology and landscape, consisting of highlands and mountainous areas. This southern band consists of the Sudeten mountains (Sudety) and the according highland (Pogórze Sudeckie), the Silesian highland (Wy˝yna Âlàska), the highlands surrounding Cracow (Wy˝yna Krakowsko-Cz´stochowska), the wide hollow of the so-called Nida Trough (Niecka Nidziaƒska) and the Holy Cross (Âwi´tokrzyskie) mountains. At the end of this highland belt are the Carpathian mountains, consisting of the following ranges (roughly west to east): Beskid Âlàski, Beskid Ma∏y, Beskid Makowski, Beskid Wyspowy, Beskid ˚ywiecki, Beskid Sàdecki, Gorce, Pieniny, the Tatra mountains, Beskid Niski, and Bieszczady. Poland General Information One of the greatest assets of Poland’s nature is its unique authenticity. The exceptional wild forest landscapes of the Bia∏owie˝a Primeval Forest (Puszcza Bia∏owieska), some forest reserves in eastern Poland, as well as the lowland deciduous forests can no longer be found anywhere else in Europe. Also quite unique are Poland’s semi-natural landscapes – such as the valley of the river Biebrza (Kotlina Biebrzaƒska) or the Narew (Dolina Narwii) as well as other locations, where elements of Poland’s traditional agriculture can still be found today. Bia∏owie˝a is the only remaining part of the primeval forest that covered all of Europe’s lowland areas up until 1,000 years ago. Today this region is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve. The diversity of Poland’s flora and fauna is also unique on the European scale. Poland has over 2,300 species of wild plants, over 600 species of moss, 1,600 species of lichens and about 4,000 species of fungi. Poland’s wildlife also includes approximately 9 Poland 33,000 species of animals. In addition, there are over 1,500 nature reserves, 125 protected parks and 23 national parks in Poland, all serving the purpose of protecting endangered species of plants and animals. Government and Administration Poland is a parliamentary representative democratic republic with a pluriform multi-party system and a bicameral parliament elected for a four-year term by proportional representation. Internal and foreign affair are run by the government, called the Council of Ministers and led by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister and his cabinet are appointed by the President. The president is elected for a five-year term by general election. As of 1999, Poland is subdivided into sixteen administrative regions called voivodships (Polish: województwo). The lower levels of administrative division are 314 counties (powiat) and 2,478 communes (gmina). The government administration on a regional level is represented by the voivode (wojewoda). Poland is an active member of a number of international organizations, including the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, UNESCO, the World Trade Organization, OECD, POMORSKIE WARMI¡SKOMAZURSKIE ZACHODNIOPOMORSKIE PODLASKIE KUJAWSKOPOMORSKIE LUBUSKIE MAZOWIECKIE WIELKOPOLSKIE ¸ÓDZKIE LUBELSKIE the Council of Baltic Sea States, the Council of Europe, the Central European Initiative (CEI) and NATO. In 2004 Poland joined the European Union and thus Polish law is gradually being adapted to comply with requirements set in EU directives. The supreme act of law in Poland is the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The country’s official language is Polish. Population and Cities Poland has a population of approximately 38.6 million. In terms of ethnicity, 98.7% of the population is Polish; ethnic minorities include Ukrainian, Belarusian, Czech, Lithuanian, German, Armenian, Russian, Slovakian, Jewish, Karaite, Lemko, Roma and Tartar. 95% of Poland’s inhabitants are Roman Catholic, 1.5% Orthodox, 1% Protestant (mostly Lutheran). 61% of the population lives in urban areas.

The capital city and main political, cultural, educational, financial and industrial centre of Poland is Warsaw (population: over 1.7 million) – a city with several centuries of history. The oldest cities in Poland are Kalisz (9th century A.D.), Sandomierz and Poznaƒ, but stunning historical sites are also to be found elsewhere. The UNESCO World Heritage List includes several locations in Poland, including the Historic Centre of Cracow, the Historic Centre of Warsaw, the Medieval Town of Toruƒ, the Old City of ZamoÊç, the Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork, the Mannerist Architectural and Park Landscape Complex in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, the Wieliczka Salt Mine, the Wooden Churches of Southern Poland, the Churches of Peace in Jawor and Swidnica, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp and the Centennial Hall in Wroc∏aw. The city of Cracow was also chosen to be one of European Capitals of Culture in the year 2000.

All major cities and most small towns are connected by rail. The leading operator of rail infrastructure in Poland is the state-run PKP Group, which offers services in passenger and cargo transportation. According to the 2007 timetable, the Polish State Railways operate 38 international railway connections offered by the following services: EuroNight, EuroCity, Express, the Cheap Railway Line (TLK) and regular international connections (daytime and nighttime).

The largest and most important of these is the Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport (formerly known as Ok´cie International Airport). The other airports are in Cracow, Gdaƒsk, Katowice, Poznaƒ, Wroc∏aw, Szczecin, ¸ódê, Bydgoszcz, Zielona Góra and Rzeszów. The Warsaw airport has over 80 regular connections to major cities in Poland and abroad. In 2006 three national and 34 foreign air carriers had regular flights to and from Warsaw, including British Airways, Lufthansa, SAS, Air France, Alitalia and KLM. However, the largest air carrier in Poland is LOT Polish Airlines. The Polish air transport market is one of the fastest developing markets in the world. The growth rate was greatly increased after Poland’s entry into the EU and the introduction of low-cost airline carriers, such as Centralwings, Wizz Air, Sky Europe, easyJet and Ryanair. Poland’s central location in Europe is also a key factor – any major city in Europe is a maximum 2-3 hour flight from Warsaw, Cracow or Gdaƒsk.

EU regulations apply also to citizens of Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland – countries that are not part of the EU but based on bilateral and multilateral agreements participate in the free of movement of persons. Entry into Poland is allowed to foreigners holding a valid travel document or other document confirming identity and citizenship. Citizens of the Russian Federation, Belarus and Ukraine must carry identity documents and visas issued by Polish consulates. Some citizens are exempt from the visa requirement, while visas for Ukrainian citizens are free of charge. The official currency in Poland is the Polish zloty (PLN) divided into 100 groszy. The currency comes in banknotes of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 PLN and coins of 1, 2 and 5 PLN as well as 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 groszy (abbreviated: gr.). At the request of immigration officers, a foreigner entering Poland should present means of covering the costs of entering and leaving the country, as well as the entire duration of one’s stay at an approximate cost of 27 EUR (100 PLN) per day. This can be presented in the form of cash (Polish zloty or convertible currencies), valid credit cards or traveler’s cheques.

This requirement does not apply to persons working in Poland who have permanent residence in another EU country where they return at least once a week. Poland When crossing the border, EU citizens are entitled to carry goods intended for “personal use” without additional taxes or excise duties. If a traveler can’t present a sensible reason for possessing large amounts of goods, and customs officers have reason to believe that the merchandise is intended for sale, it is possible that the goods will be confiscated, along with the vehicle carrying them. The following indicative quantities are generally recognized as intended for personal use: 800 cigarettes, 200 cigars, 1 kg of tobacco, 10 litres of spirits, 20 litres of apéritifs or intermediate products (e.g. sherry, port wine), or 110 litres of beer. Travelers under 17 years of age are not allowed to carry alcohol or tobacco products. Since the political transition took place in Poland, the exchange rates have become stable. There are however some natural fluctuations in exchange rates. The values presented below should therefore be treated as approximates. Average exchange rate 2.8005 2.4739 3.8080 1.5496 2.3256 5.6290 0.5564 0.1362 0.5108 0.2434 0.4705 0.1140 0.4137 1.1029 5.4110 0.1087 1.5987 10.4722 4.2778 Exchange rates dated 18 April 2007, source: National Bank of Poland, www.nbp.pl 15 Poland The most secure way of exchanging currency are banks, although they offer slightly lower exchange rates and some charge a 2-3% commission. Banks in Poland are open Monday to Friday, usually from 9 am to 5 pm, some also on Saturdays until 1 pm. Every bank in Poland has a network of its own ATMs, although access to these may be limited in rural areas. All major debit and credit cards are accepted in Poland – Access/MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, Eurocard, JCB and Visa. Most banks in Poland allow cash withdrawals from credit cards. Poland is a relatively inexpensive country – food, public transportation, admission tickets, even accommodation are considerably cheaper than in Western European countries. Naturally, prices in major cities are higher than in rural areas. It is safe to assume some average prices for Poland: a large pizza will cost about 5 euros; a three-course middle-class restaurant dinner will be about 15-20 euros; a cross-country train ticket – about 35 euros; a room in a 5-star hotel – 250 euros.

Weather patterns are rather unstable, especially during seasonal changes and wintertime. Winters in Poland are usually of the oceanic type with high precipitation; less common are fair weather continental winters. Northern and western Poland has a mostly maritime temperate At the Fanaa location, directed by Kunal Kohli – Kashmir in the Tatra Mountains 18 Poland Poland has a relatively high rate of changes in long-term weather patterns. There is a total of six distinct seasons – in addition to spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are the uniquely Polish seasons of early spring (przedwioÊnie) and early winter (przedzimie). During the early spring period which lasts up to a month, the average daily air temperature ranges from 0°C to 5°C. Spring in Poland usually lasts about 60 days and has an average daily temperature of 5°C to 15°C. With temperatures above 20°C, summer in Poland begins in May and lasts up to four months, followed by autumn, when the average temperature once again drops to between 15°C and 5°C. With the start of the early winter period, usually lasting about six weeks, temperatures drop below 5°C. Wintertime sees a relatively long period of cold weather and frost – the early spring period does not begin until late February or early March, and even then only in the mild climate areas of northern and western Poland. Northeastern Poland is the last of the regions to see spring, usually at the end of March. Cloud Cover and Precipitation The number of cloudy days in Poland is between 60 and 70 percent. The cloudiest period is November, and the clearest months are August and September. The average annual number of cloudy days (i.e. when the sky is 80% overcast) is 120-160, and the number of sunny days (i.e. cloudiness below 20%) is 30-50. With predominantly westerly winds in Poland, the highest precipitation occurs on western mountain slopes. In the Carpathian and Sudeten mountains the average annual precipitation is 800-1400 mm, while in the lowland and highland regions it ranges from 400 mm to 750 mm. The lowest precipitation levels are in eastern Wielkopolska and in the Kujawy region. The summer months are characterized by the most rainfall in a year, usually 2-3 times higher than in wintertime (and 4 times higher than in the Carpathian mountains). The average number of days with snowfall ranges from 30-40 days in western and central Poland to over 50 days in the northeast. The Karkonosze mountains have 120 days, and the Tatras have 145 days of snowfall per year. Snow also stays the longest in the mountains (up to 200 days) and in northwestern Poland (90-120 days). The least number of days with snow cover is in the western regions (40-50 days). Temperatures The average annual temperature in Poland ranges from 5-7°C to 8-10°C. The hottest month of the year is July, with an average temperature of 16-19°C. The coolest areas in July are the mountains, where the air temperature drops as altitude increases. The uppermost parts of the Tatra and Sudeten mountains have an average July air temperature of just 9°C. July is also cooler in areas adjacent to the Baltic Sea (about 16°C.). The hottest area is central Poland, with temperatures exceeding 18°C. Hot days with temperatures exceeding 25°C occur between May and September. Their number in the south of Poland is relatively higher than in the northern regions. The coldest month in Poland is January, with northeastern regions being the coolest part of the country. The average annual number of days with sub-zero temperatures ranges from about 25 to 65, while in the mountains it can be 132 days, and sometimes even 150 days. The number of days with ground frost, typically in late spring and early autumn, ranges from 90 to 130 in the lowlands, while in the mountains it exceeds 200. Winds Poland climate, with mild winters and cool summers and high precipitation. Sever winters and hot, dry summers are more common in eastern parts of the country. The winds in Poland are typically weak to moderate, with speed ranging from 2 to 10 metres per second. Strong and very strong winds usually occur at the seaside, causing sea storms, and also in the mountains, where their speed often exceeds 30 m/s. Hurricanes are uncommon in Poland, however the mountain halny wind is notorious for uprooting trees and blowing off roofs. Halny is a type of wind known to most mountainous regions of the world, usually known under the general name of föhn winds. It brings higher temperatures and lower air humidity. It is a nuisance for most people, as it lowers psychophysical strength and causes irritability. Another local Polish wind is the refreshing Baltic sea breeze. source: www.poland.gov.pl 19 Poland Unit Average monthly temperature I II III Maximum/minimum value C grade -3.8/-8.9 Monthly precipitation mm h 44.7/4.2 -0.3/-6.6 1.3/-3.7 46.2/12.3 118.9/5.3 IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII 9.9/5.6 14.2/10.6 18.6/13.7 24.2/17.9 18.4/6.3 17.3/6.6 12.4/3.6 8/-1.8 6,6/-2,7 87.1/17.6 188.2/20.9 330.7/15.4 89.9/0.5 300.7/86.6 110.5/8.2 81.6/15.3 145.5/31.4 72,6/15,9 139.5/39.6 91.4/26.1 165.7/68.7 237.6/108 325.5/142.5 378.4/155.5 437.5/247.6 268.8/82.6 298.5/144.7 181/71.9 84/22.4 89,3/24,8 Average wind velocity m/s 14.7/0.7 13.9/1.3 20.2/1.7 17,4/1,6 Average air humidity % 91.9/58.4 Insolation 11.2/1.2 14.5/1.4 10.6/1.3 9.2/1.1 11.9/1.4 16.3/1.3 16.6/1.3 94.3/78.2 87.8/75.7 84.3/64.8 88.5/59.9 89.6/57.6 76.2/46.6 93/74.2 84.7/68.2 87.5/70.2 94.4/81.1 95,3/69,3 35.5/3.2 19.4/4.7 18.9/6.6 30.3/11.4 39/14.7 39.5/13.5 42.3/16.5 36.3/12.1 33/10.8 31.2/8.5 27.2/7.8 27,8/5,7 Number of fair days 13/2 2/- 5/- 8/- 9/- 8/- 22/- 2/- 16/8 9/- 4/- 8/- Number of cloudy days 22/8 23/15 27/7 21/5 17/3 18/- 7/- 25/4 15/0 21/6 26/12 24/10 - 2/- 5/- 8/- 11/- 10/- 12/0 5/- 4/- 1/- 1/- km Average visibility Number of days with a storm - 16/1.2 Table: Selected weather conditions source: pogpol.chilan.com Months/ 2007 Sunrise time Sunset time Average daylight January February March April May June July August September October November December 06:58-06:37 06:35-05:48 05:46-04:42 04:40-03:40 03:39-02:57 02:56-02:53 02:54-03:25 03:27-04:11 04:12-04:56 04:57-05:45 05:47-06:33 06:34-06:58 15:07-15:50 15:51-16:38 16:39-17:28 17:29-18:14 18:16-18:57 18:58-19:13 19:12-18:46 18:44-17:49 17:47-16:43 16:41-15:41 15:39-15:02 15:01-15:06 9 h 01 min 10 h 18 min 11 h 49 min 13 h 41 min 15 h 18 min 16 h 11 min 16 h 09 min 14 h 27 min 12 h 41 min 10 h 50 min 9 h 25 min 8 h 17 min Table: Average daylight per month 20 Locatio ns Poland Poland 21 Poland Tour Locations C Pomerania The Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork 22 Pomerania Locations C Pomerania Geographical Location The historical region of Pomerania (Pomorze) lies in northern Poland and Germany on the south coast of the Baltic Sea.

Many people consider the 1,000 year old Gdaƒsk to be the most beautiful of Polish cities. It is also a key heritage site. Most historic monuments in Gdaƒsk are located in the Main Town (Main Town Hall, Artus Palace, Uphagen House) and in the Old Town (the Great Mill, Old Town Hall, St. Catherine’s Church). Numerous others are settled along Gdaƒsk’s main walking street D∏uga. St. Mary’s Church in Gdaƒsk is the largest medieval brick edifice in Europe. Other important sites around Gdaƒsk include: Westerplatte, Oliwa and the famous Gdaƒsk Shipyard. Europe’s longest wooden pier is to be found in the popular beach resport of Sopot. The Hel Peninsula and its largest town Hel are home to a Fishing Museum, historical Kashubian settlements, a marine research centre of the University of Gdaƒsk, a lighthouse, fishing port and an abundance of military installations. In the town of ¸eba one can admire beautiful sandy beaches and the famous shifting dunes. Another key city in Pomerania is Malbork – the medieval capital of the Teutonic knights order and Europe’s largest Gothic fortress. The castle complex consists of three castles, with a total area of over 20 hectares. Some of the world’s most spectacular examples of Gothic architecture are to be found here, including the famous High Castle with its four wings and magnificent double-level galleries. The western part of Pomerania is home to the town of Mi´dzyzdroje. Its key attractions include a 300 metre pier and the famous Stars’ Promenade with hand imprints of Poland’s prominent filmmakers.

Dezydery Ch∏apowski Landscape Park Poland The region consists predominantly of lowlands, with some moraine uplands, proglacial stream valleys and channel lakes, meadowlands, bogs and forests, with the majority of its area covered with farmlands. The western part of Wielkopolska is densely covered with woods and forests, with some of them being very unique, e.g. the Noteç River Primaeval Forest. The region is also very rich in surface water reservoirs – the lakes which create picturesque lake districts and the Odra, Warta, Noteç and Bóbr rivers. The local national parks and landscape reserves are the habitat for some rare species of animals, e. g. fallow deer, raccoon dogs, muskrats, or white eagles. One of the most precious examples of the natural richness present in the region is a 750-years-old oak called “Chrobry”, after Poland’s first king, and with trunk diameter of approximately 10 meters. The oak grows in the town of Piotrowice.

The most precious historical sights include the remains of the pre-Roman buildings dating back to the beginnings of the Polish state. Examples of theses buildings can be found in Poznaƒ, Gniezno and Ostrów Lednicki. The list of interesting sights also includes: the Poznaƒ Cathedral which, among other precious exhibits, houses the tombs of the first Polish rulers; the magnificent Fara Church, and the Renaissance Town Hall. The Cathedral in Gniezno dates back to the 10th century and since then it has been the worship place of St. Wojciech (St. Adalbert); visitors to the Cathedral may admire many precious and unique exhibits of religious arts. The town of Zielona Góra, west from Poznaƒ, should be mentioned for its very picturesque historic tenement houses located in the town centre, as well as a spectacular palm house seated on the peak of the Vineyard Hill; this town takes pride from having a long-lasting tradition of wine making. A 13th century cathedral and historic granaries can be seen in Gorzów Wielkopolski. The miniature town of ¸agów, seated within a landscape park and surrounded by lakes, is known for its very spectacular panorama with a castle as the main focus point. The towns of Krosno Odrzaƒskie, Bytom Odrazƒski, Ko˝uchów and ˚agaƒ have still preserved their historic urban layout, with the remains of defense walls, monumental town halls and beautiful church buildings. The greatest castles in the region can be found in Kórnik and Go∏uchów, whereas the most beautiful palaces and manors are to be seen in G∏´bice, Rogalin or Âmie∏ów. The village of GoÊcikowo-Parady˝ is famous for the Cistercian Monastery which has been vibrant with life until these very days. The region is also rich in many military buildings and constructions of some historic importance and dating back to WW II, for example, the bunker complex in the Mi´dzyrzec Strategic Defense System. From the village of Boryszyn, tours are organized for those keen to visit this spectacular underground military world.

One of them is the Lower Silesia Forest – one of the largest in Europe and the largest in Poland forest complex. Its landscape is enriched by postglacial hills and river valleys. The Silesia is also famous for its spectacularly picturesque mountains – the Beskid Mountains and the Sudety with the Karkonosze and Sto∏owe chains. In the Middle Ages, the Sudety Mountains used to have the nick name of the Treasury of Europe due to its gold deposits; it is said that gold still can be found there. The Karkonosze National Park is rich in waterfalls, precipices, grassy mountain peaks and chasms created by glaciers. The Sto∏owe Mountains – charmingly looking mountains resembling tables – are a perfect example of slab mountains built of layers of cracked sandstone. One of the most enchanting places to be found among these mountains is the B∏´dne Ska∏y maze covering an area of 20 hectares.

The region is predominently industrial with the mining and steel work industries striving almost unceasingly since the 19th century. However, the most interesting city in the region is Wroc∏aw, together with Kraków and Gdaƒsk, one of the most beautiful cities in Poland. The most significant historical sights located in this city include the Gothic church complex of buildings, the largest of this type in Poland and dating back to the Middle Ages, the Town Hall regarded as one of the most beautiful medieval buildings in Europe, as well as numerous bridges connecting various parts of the old town. The town of K∏odzko, with its 1,000-year-long history, is famous for its historical square market, tenement houses, churches, mighty fortress and underground touring route connecting old merchants’ basements and cellars. Very precious historical sights can be visited in Jelenia Góra, Wa∏brzych, Legnica, Âwidnica, Boles∏awiec, Bolków, Niemcza, Trzebnica, Strzegom, Strzelin, as well as in many other cities, towns and villages across the region. The St. Ann Mountain is a home for a Baroque complex of church buildings; the nearby basalt quarry is the place where the largest in Europe open-air amphitheatre can be visited. Some of the most precious historical sights in the Silesia region also include the Cistercian Monastery in Lubià˝, the Baroque abbey in Krzeszów, the Basilica in Wambierzyce and the Benedictine Monastery in Pole Legnickie. Those visitng Silesia can also come across numerous castles and castle ruins; the larges ones are located in Ksià˝, Chojnik, Grodno and Czocha. Some smaller castles have become part of the so-called the Eagles’ Nest Route with something like 25 historical buildings located on the rout exceeding almost 163 kilometers. One of the most interesting architectural sights is the palace in Moszna – the most charming building consisting of 365 rooms and almost 99 towers and turrets. The Silesia region is also famous for its underground attractions, namely numerous historical coal mines and mysterious underground corridors located in Walim and G∏uszyca, still hiding some undisclosed secrets of WW II; all these places are accessible for tourists and visitors.

Landscape Poland The landscape of this region is quite varied, with lowlands, wavy hills, and areas rich in deep, narrow and winding ravines, as well as high mountains. In the south-east, the Roztocze Hills are covered with forests full of mountain springs and waterfalls. The north part of the region is full of lakes, rivers, canals and bogs. In the south, the Tatra Mountains – still wild and covered in snow – spread along the Polish border; they are the highest mountains between the Caucasus and the Alps. Nearby lie the Pieniny Mountains with the untamed mountainous river of Dunajec fiercely cutting its way through the limestone rock; from those mountains, tourists can enjoy a spectacular view of the Gorce Mountains and the rolling slopes of the Beskid Mountains. All these mountain chains in the region hide many caves, with the most famous one – the Wielka Ânie˝na cave, 824 metres deep and more than 22 kilometres long. However, the most famous caves – the ¸okietek and Ciemna caves – can be found in the Kraków and Cz´stochowa Jura Hills, near the Ojców National Park. The entire area of this national park is full of most astonishing rock formations created by the Pràdnik river almost 150 million years ago. The region also encloses the only Polish natural desert – the B∏´dowska Desert. Although the sand temperature there can occasionally reach almost 70ºC, this is not exactly a desert area in the climatic terms. The last sand storms and Fata Morgana were reported there in the 20th century.

The number of historic sights to be found in this city is simply countless. Almost half of the Polish properties included in the UNESCCO world heritage list can be found in the Ma∏opolskie Voivodship alone: the Cracow’s Historic Centre, the Wieliczka Salt Mine, the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, Kalwaria Zebrzydowska: the Mannerist Architectural and Park Landscape Complex and Pilgrimage Park, and the Wooden Churches of Southern Poland (in Binarowa, D´bno, Lipnica Murowana and S´kowa). Some other most significant architectural sights worth visiting in the region include the Benedictine Monks Monastery in Tyniec, the castles in Piaskowa Ska∏a (the Sand Rock Mountain), Niedzica, Baranów Sandomierski, as well as the local castle ruins with the most interesting ones in Ogrodzieniec. The historic town list consists of Kraków, Lublin and of course ZamoÊç – the Urban Pearl of Renaissance. This list, however, would remain incomplete if two more cities were not mentioned; first of all Zakopane, the most famous Polish mountain resort and winter sport centre, and finally Kazimierz upon Vistula River – the town favoured among Polish artists. The region is also a cultural melting pot, hence the presence of numerous orthodox churches, synagogues and Jewish commentaries; but probably the most significant example of this cultural diversity ever visible in the region is the well-known and loved Jewish part of Kraków – Kazimierz. 53 Locations C Ma∏opolska and Lubelszczyzna Museums and Heritage Parks The Pieskowa Ska∏a Castle 32-045 Su∏oszowa tel. /fax +48 12 389 60 04 www.wawel.krakow.pl/pieskowa.htm C Art Museums National Museum in Kraków 30-062 Kraków, Al. 3 Maja 1 tel. +48 12 295 56 00, fax +48 12 295 55 55 www.muzeum.krakow.pl The Synagogue in Kraków-Kazimierz, Miodowa Str.

The areas in the middle Vistula river basin, between the towns of Wyszogród and P∏ock, are basically still wild, with numerous islands to be found on the river. These islands have become habitats for impressive numbers of rare bird species. Although the Mazowsze region is actually poor in forests, a number of forest complexes can still be found here, e. g. the Kampinos, Kurpie, Bia∏y or Kozienice Forests. The highest hills in the region consist of some parts of the Karaków – Wieluƒ Jura Hills and the Opoczno Hills. Bird’s eye view of ¸azienki Królewskie Park, Warsaw 65 Locations C Mazovia Cities and Historic Sites The Royal Castle in Wilanów, Warsaw Panorama of Warsaw Undoubtedly, the largest city in the region is Warsaw, housing the greatest number of historic sites; the most precious ones are: two palace complexes, i.e. Wilanów and ¸azienki, and the Royal Tract with its numerous palaces and Baroque churches. P∏ock, the town situated north-west from the capital city of Warsaw, is famous for its complex of buildings called “Tumski Hill” with the castle ruins and the Renaissance cathedral. The monastery and the Roman church located in Czerwiƒsk belong to the most precious historic buildings in the Mazowsze Region. Gothic and Renaissance castles, as well as some preserved ruins of castles can be visited in Czersk, Chiechanów, Liwie and Szyd∏owiec. One of the best preserved manors in the region is the late Gothic manor and fortress in Oporów. The castle located in Piotrków Trybunalski also served as a fortress. In the Kurpie area, some old customs of the long-lived folk culture and tradition are still being preserved, e. g. in the towns of Muszyniec and Kadzid∏o. The town of Wyszogród is famous for its wooden bridge, the longest bridge of this type in Poland. The town of Modlin, also situated in the region, takes pride from its fortress built by Napoleon. One of the most interesting towns in the Region is ¸ódê; this is probably the most remarkable and important place for the Polish film makers. The town is said to house almost 1,000 historic architectural sites, including Renaissance palaces, Baroque and neo-Gothic churches, and numerous secession and eclectic apartment houses. However, ¸ódê is most famous for its old and historic industrial buildings accompanied by the residences of their former owners.

Landscape Set in the basin of the Vistula and Notec rivers, the key characteristic of the landscape of Kuyavia is its extremely dense water network. Poland Kuyavia Locations C Kuyavia The main waterways are the Vistula River and its tributaries – Drw´ca, Brda and Wda. The western part of the region is dominated by the Notec river. The region has approximately 1,000 post-glacial lakes with an area of over one hectare, the largest of them being Gop∏o. Kuyavia is a rather poorly wooded area of Poland, although it is home to the Tuchola Forest (Bory Tucholskie) – Poland’s second largest woodland. The Bory Tucholskie National Park and its impressive pinewood forests are home to rare species of animals, including the black stork – a species generally uncommon in Poland.

Each of these towns has a unique blend of the old and the contemporary. With its many remaining medieval fortifications, Copernicus’ hometown of Toruƒ is a true reserve of Gothic architecture. Castle ruins, historic townhouses and granaries, St. John’s Cathedral with one of Poland’s oldest bells and baptismal fonts. Bydgoszcz lies on the Brda River, in a densely wooded area. The city is famous for its valuable art nouveau architecture and Gothic churches. Numerous Teutonic castles remind us of the medieval knights’ reign over this land. The largest of these castles are located in Go∏ub-Dobrzyƒ and Radzyƒ Che∏miƒski. The ruins in Radzyƒ are relatively unknown, although in terms of size they are comparable with the famous site at Malbork. Kuyavia is also home to a number of the earliest settlements in Poland, the most prominent of them being Kruszwica, Biskupin, Strzelno and Mogilno. Biskupin is an example of Iron Age fortified settlements of the ancient Lusatian culture. Kruszwica, Strzelno and Mogilno are home to several well-preserved examples of sacral Roman architecture. Traditional folk architecture can be found not only at regional ethnographic museums and heritage parks, but also in local villages.

It consist of three historical lands called in Polish: Warmia, Mazury and PowiÊle. Due to its great natural environment, the Region is regarded as one of the most beautiful areas in entire Poland. Landscape An outing on the Ostróda – Elblàg Canal National Parks and Nature Reserves The Mazury Landscape Reserve The I∏awa Lake District Reserve The Romincki Forest Landscape Reserve The Dylewskie Hill Landscape Reserve The Elblàg Hights Landscape Reserve The Welsk Landscape Reserve Poland The Warmia and Mazury Region is commonly called the land of a thousand lakes (the Polish Lake District), although the real number of lakes should be doubled. The largest lakes are the Âniardwy and Mamry Lakes. The lakes, canals and rivers create here a system of water routes, extending for many kilometres, making it possible to travel from town to town by water. The Region is also impressively rich in woods and forests which cover almost 30% of its entire area. The Mazury forests remain still the habitat for rare species of animals, including one extremely precious rarity – a hind with horns. Other examples include a nature reserve for tarpan horses near Popielno and a swan nature reserve on the ¸uknajno lake, the largest reserve of this kind in Europe. 81 Locations C The Warmia and Mazury Henryk MyÊliƒski Cities and Historic Sites Bird’s eye view of Elblàg A small marina in Mazury The capital city of the Region is Olsztyn, a town with a history dating back to the 14th century. The oldest and most precious historical buildings which can be found here include a Jerusalem Chapel, the Castle and the Town Hall. One of the attractions that can be visited in the town is also an astronomical observatory. Five lakes located within the town boundaries are a value added tourist attraction. The historical presence of the Teutonic Knights in the Region is heavily marked by a number of castles, some in ruins, that can be found in places like Nidzica, Moràg, Pas∏´k, Lubawa, Elblàg, Szymbark (one of the largest castles of the Teutonic Knights in Mazury), Szczytno, K´trzyn, W´gorzewo, Ryn and Barcice. Another important landmark, located in the Region, is Grunwald, a battlefield famous for the defeat suffered by the army of the Teutonic Knights during one of the largest battles fought in the Medieval Europe. Orneta, a small city north of Olsztyn, is famous for its gothic parish church surrounded by numerous and attractive in their design chapels; the facade of the church is decorated with a ceramic frieze. Lidzbark Warmiƒski is one of the most interesting towns in Warmia with its bishops’ residence castle dating back to the 14th and 15th century. The Church residence consists of a castle and the Gothic wings, located on the lower castle, which were reconstructed and adopted for the bishops’ residence in the 18th century. The castle is surrounded by a moat and a wall with two towers. Some more ruins of the defence walls and three towers can be also found inside the town itself. Two 14th century churches are to be found in the town called Bartoszyce; nearby a small town of Reszel stands with its still The overpass, Staƒczyki 82 Locations C The Warmia and Mazury Poland well-preserved and even more charming medieval urban design, with a castle surrounded by a wall and a moat, and two Gothic bridges crossing the local river. Frombork, another worth-visiting town in the Region, is located by the Vistula Lagoon and is famous for its extensive fortifications with a defence wall and two towers all seated on the Cathedral Hill. The Copernicus Tower, also located there, houses a few meter high Foucault pendulum – the only one in Poland. Other interesting sights in the Region include: an ethnographic park, one of the largest in Poland, in Olsztynek; a castle in Ostróda; a castle in Kamieniec Suski in which Napoleon once stayed; two French cannons manufactured in 1870 and decorating the entrance to the Town Hall in Moràg; a renovated neo-Gothic palace, built as a replica of Babelsberg, in a small town of Baloszyce; a similar building constructed around the same time in Sorkwity. The Mazury Region has always had the reputation of being Poland’s main sailing centre, with towns such as Miko∏ajki, Gi˝ycko, Ruciane-Nida and Sztynort being the larges water sport centers. One of the most unique sights in the Region, even in the worldwide perspective, is the Ostróda – Elblàg canal; this is a 19th century system of water-powered skipways allowing ships to travel over land for the distance of 9.6 km covering the difference in water level of 100 m. “Wilczy Szaniec” – the former field quarters of Adolf Hitler – are still covered deep in mystery. The sight is located in Gier∏o˝, near Lidzbark Warmiƒski. Another complex of bunkers, still ideally preserved, is also located nearby, in the town of Mamerki; it is supposed to have served as the field quarters for Heinrich Himmler.

The Bia∏owie˝a forest is the largest, still preserved natural forest in Europe and namely the last European natural forest with unmatched richness of fauna and flora. The trees, some of which are 126 years old, form a habitat for the largest European mammal – ˚ubr (European bison). The Wigry lake is the most precious stone of the local nature with its numerous islands, bays and peninsulas. The Region also houses overflow areas of two wild rivers – Biebrza and Narew. The Biebrza overflow is the most extensive and best preserved natural lowland bog system in Europe, with approximately 200 bird species, moose, beavers and otters still living there in the wild. The ¸om˝a National Park of the Narwia River Valley he Narew River Landscape Reserve Park The Knyszyƒski Natural Forest Landscape Reserve The Suwa∏ki Landscape Reserve 89 Locations C Podlasie Cities and Historic Sites The Region has no large urban aglomerations, but a number of tiny towns and villages. The capital city of the Region is Bia∏ystok, a town developed around the manor belonging once to the noble family of Branicki. The baroque manor of the Branicki family still impresses with its beauty and is called the Versailles of Podlasie. Bia∏ystok is surrounded by the Knyszyƒski natural forest. The Tatar Route passes nearby with its main town of Sokó∏a and two mosques located in the villages of Bohoniki and Kruszyniany. A historic fortified town of ¸om˝à, located by the Narew river and in the neighbourhood of the Kurpiowski natural forest belongs to one of the larges towns in the Region. The Narew River National Park surrounds the historic town of Tykocin. The cultural richness of the Podlasie Region can be seen in the ethnographic park located in Nowogród, among the picturesque hills where the Pisa river enters the Narew river. The eastern part of the Region constitutes a cultural frontier where Byelorussians and Ukrainians live; hence the large number of beautiful Orthodox churches and chapels and one of very few in Europe schools of icon painting in Bielsk Podlaski. A very interesting and modern Orthodox church can be found in the nearby town of Hajnówka. The town of Suwa∏ki, built in a classicism style, is very rich in museum collections documenting the history and culture of the historic Jacwingowie Baltic tribe. Two small historic towns of Drohiczyn and Mielnik were built upon a steep and high embankment overlooking the Bug river valley, as well as the nearby town of Siemiatycze. Some picturesque views resembling mountainous landscapes can be admired in the village of Smolniki. The nearby towns of Sejny and Puƒsk and their surrounding areas are populated by a large number of Lithuanians. Finally, the town of Osowiec famous for its 19th century fortifications.

Its central geographic location, large territory and a nearly 40-million market continue to attract a growing number of foreign investors. Thanks to dynamic political and economic changes in recent years Poland has taken a major leap in virtually every sphere of life – including the media. Poland has become a popular destination among foreign documentary film crews and feature film producers. Business Law The process of rapprochement between Poland and Western Europe deepened along with transitional changes of Polish politics and economy. The key steps were taken with the signing of the trade and economic cooperation agreement between Poland and the European Community in 1989 (ratified in 1991), the Association Agreement between Poland and the European Community (1994), with Polish parliament passing the new Economic Activity Law in 1998 and finally with Poland’s entry into the EU in 2004. Thanks to new regulations guaranting equal rights to foreign entities and the new Cinematography Act of 2005, the activity of foreign entities in the Polish film industry does not require any special permits. The only exception to this rule is television broadcasting in Poland, which requires acquiring a concession from the National Broadcasting Council. Based on references in appropriate legal texts, any foreign entrepreneur regardless of the country of origin can operate freely in the film industry in Poland and with no additional formalities. The basic legal framework set by the Act on Freedom of Economic Activity of 2 July 20041 is as follows: 1. see: Act of 2 July on Freedom of Economic Activity, Polish Official Journal (Dziennik Ustaw – Dz.U.) 2004, no. 173, item 1807. 1. An entrepreneur is any prson, organization or non-corporate organizational unit with legal capacity conducting economic activity on its own behalf. The legal status of an entrepreneur can take the form of a partnership (Polish: spó∏ka partnerska), registered partnership (spó∏ka jawna), unlimited partnership (spó∏ka komandytowa) and limited company (spó∏ka z ograniczonà odpowiedzialnoÊcià) with the latter being the most common form in the film industry. An entrepreneur can also be a natural person with registered business activity (i.e. sole trader). General partnerships (spó∏ka cywilna) are not entrepreneurs as defined above, however their particular members are considered as such. Poland Polish Law 2. The State can provide entrepreneurs with public aid only on terms and in forms clearly stated in separate provisions. Public aid must be granted with respect to the rules of fair competition and equal rights. 3. Foreigners from Member States of the European Union and European Free Trade Association may undertake and conduct economic activity on the same terms and conditions as Polish entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs whose country of origin is other than the above mentioned group may undertake and conduct economic activity in Poland only in the form of a joint-stock company, limited company, limited partnership or limited joint-stock partnership and take over or acquire shares in these entities. Polish regulations distinguish between “foreign persons” (persons, organizations or non-corporate organizational unit with permanent registered offices outside their country of origin) and “foreign entrepreneurs” (foreign persons conducting economic activity outside their country of origin). This enhances the significance of whether economic activity is conducted within the entrepreneur’s country of origin or abroad. In addition to direct investment in Poland, Polish law allows foreign entities to establish agencies and branches2. 2. see: Tax Ordinance Act of 29 August 1997 with further changes; Dziennik Ustaw (Dz.U.) 2005, no. 8, item 60. 101 Polish Law Obligations of Entrepreneurs In the light of Polish law, economic activity is clearly defined as bearing the following traits: professional character (permanent and professional activity, as opposed to occasional and amateur), subordination to the rules of profitability and profit, repeatability of operations and participation in economic turnover. An entrepreneur may commence economic activity only after being registered in the Entrepreneurs Register of the National Court Registry (Krajowy Rejestr Sàdowy) or in the Economic Activity Registry. The entrepreneur must oblige to rules of fair competition (as set by EU regulations, which prohibit monopolistic practices, concentrated (cartel) practices, dumping pricing policies, illegal concentration etc.), follow regulations determining the terms and conditions of economic activity (particularly regulations concerning safety, public ethics and environment protection) and, when required by law, employ only properly trained and skilled professionals. Other key obligations of the entrepreneur in Poland include: C obtaining a tax identification number (NIP) at the appropriate tax office and using it in official business conduct (professional correspondence, tender, company seals etc.), C obtaining an identity number based on the type of activity (REGON) at the Statistical Office, C registration of the company and payment of contributions to the Social Insurance Office (ZUS) when employing staff, C opening a bank account and using it for all transactions, C issuing monthly returns and paying taxes (i.e. VAT, income tax, prepayment on payroll tax etc.) to the local Tax Office, C submitting financial statements and statistical reports as required by appropriate regulations Business regulations in Poland are rather numerous and their number continues to grow, therefore running a business requires continuous professional monitoring. Any kind of tax exemptions, investment tax relief and issues of avoiding double taxation must be consulted and confirmed by appropriate authorities before undertaking business conduct. 102 The New Act on Cinematography The State holds patronage over the film industry in Poland. Public funds are granted for film production, selected festivals and events, developing filing systems, education and professional training, as well as promotion of Polish film abroad. The key organization in the film industry is the Polish Film Institute, established in accordance with the Act on Cinematography of 30 June 20053, which at the same time is the the key regulation act for the film industry. This long-awaited document introduces new compulsory sources of financing film production (feature, documentary and animation) and project development. The new law also outlines the basic legal framework for functioning of the film market and sets clear definitions of selected industry terms – e.g. producer, co-producer, film production, or film services. Information of key importance for the foreign entrepreneur can be found in Articles 22 and 23 of the Act, which deal with the conditions of acquiring public funding for a film project4. Paragraph 1 of Article 22 states that “[... ] any entity engaged in the cinema business, both Polish and from another European Union Member State or the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), i.e. parties to the European Economic Area, irrespective of its organizational or legal status and ownership structure, may apply for additional financing in the area of preparing film projects, film production, distribution (...) and dissemination of films, promotion of Polish film-making and dissemination of film culture, hereinafter referred to as additional project financing”. Paragraph 3 of Article 22 defines the criteria for granting additional project financing. These include artistic, cognitive and ethical values; importance for Polish national heritage and culture; enriching cultural diversity in Europe; expected effects of the planned project and finally the financial terms of the project’s completion. Based on the above criteria, each project is assessed by a group of film experts. 3. see: Act on Cinematography of 30 June 2005; Dz.U. 2005, no. 132, item 1111. 4. see: Tax Ordinance Act of 29 August 1997 with further changes; Dziennik Ustaw (Dz.U.) 2005, no. 8, item 60. Polish Law Autonomous production to Foreign entrepreneurs interested in film production in Poland should by all means become familiar with the Act on Cinematography in its entirety and with related texts, two of which are of particular importance: the Decree of the Minister of Culture dated 27 October 2005 on the co-financing of cinematography undertakings by the Polish Film Institute5 and the Decree of the Minister of Culture dated 24 November 2005 on the means of audit of entities with reference to the use of additional project funding6. There are no legal impediments for foreign entrepreneurs in terms of autonomous economic activity in Poland, including the field of film production, even for a single project. A producer from an EU state will naturally come across a number of formal facilitations. However, when planning to establish cooperation with a Polish co-producer contributing financially or bringing the promising option of acquiring non-returnable public funds, patience becomes a key factor because (similarly to other countries) public institutions require an extended period of time to assess additional project funding applications, in terms of both content (script value assessment) and finances. The Polish Film Institute processes additional project funding applications within the framework of the relevant operational programme four times per year. On average, the assessment procedure lasts about three months, however the entire period between application approval and signing of the contract may exceed six months. While awaiting the decision regarding a particular application, the foreign producer is not required to remain in Poland, but only to appear at necessary meetings. 5. see: Decree of the Minister of Culture dated 27 October 2005 on the co-financing of cinematography undertakings by the Polish Institute, Dz.U. 2005, no. 219, item 1870; with later amendments: Dz.U. 2006, no. 50, item 366 and Dz.U. 2006, no. 78, item 545. When undertaking autonomous production (i.e. without a Polish counterpart) a foreign producer must first register economic activity based on the same regulations that apply to Polish businesses. However, additional provisions must be made regarding tax issues. The foreign entrepreneur must set up a Polish office; hire qualified legal representatives and an accounting bureau. This does not imply release of the foreign entrepreneur from responsibility for legal and financial decisions. According to Polish fiscal regulations (the Tax Ordinance Act and income tax laws), as a business entity the foreign entrepreneur is responsible for any transgressions. Cooperation with a Polish partner Poland Article 23 discusses the forms of additional project funding (subsidies, loans or warranties) and maximum percentage of funding in relation to the overall budget (general rule: up 50% of the total budget). Film production in Poland is much simpler and more convenient when cooperating with a Polish business partner. This cooperation can take two forms – either a service order or co-production, for applicable projects and on the condition that the foreign producer does not lay claim to exclusive distribution rights. A Polish partner can be helpful in obtaining funding from various public and private sources. Aside from essential business confidence strengthened by a written contract and ease of communication, the Polish partner should be capable of fast budgeting, preparing the shooting schedule and index of production resources, presenting organizational options for the pre-production, principal photography and post-production stages, but should also be familiar with the film service and technology market and respective financial alternatives (e.g. stock vs. magnetic film). The Polish business partner should have a stable economic situation, head office and qualified staff. The most common form of operating in the film industry is a limited company (Polish abbreviation: sp. z o.o.). Every business must submit an annual balance sheet and filing information to the National Court Registry regarding any changes of address, board members or power of attorneys. This documentation may be made available to third parties, especially for purposes of assessing the company’s credibility. 6. see: Decree of the Minister of Culture dated 24 November 2005 on the mode and method of audit with reference to the use of additional project funding, Dz.U. 2005, no. 242, item 2044. 103 Polish Law Fees and Taxes Certain fees are levied upon a foreign producer undertaking film production in Poland, regardless of the form of cooperation with Polish business partners. The most important of these are as follows: C advance on employee income tax (initial charges made upon payment of wages); C VAT on invoices from goods and service providers; form is a fixed term lease agreement with clearly stated conditions of use. It is important to take into considering even the smallest details, down to the use of local power sources or toilet facilities. Unless specified in a fixed price list, rent is negotiable. The property manager also has the right to refuse permission. Some official procedures may be complicated and time-consuming. One of these is obtaining permission for filming in the streets. When applying, the producer must include a project for traffic reorganization and demarcation of the area. However the local authorities reserve the right to refuse permission. C social insurance on employment contracts and mandate contracts7; C advance on business income tax (if any) Other occasional fees and taxes include legal fees (e.g. when signing certain lease contracts; notary charges; court registry fees), bank fees (bank transfers, loan servicing etc.), real estate taxes (when applicable), local costs (e.g. permits for aerial photography or entry to national parks), and others. Work Permits No permit for work in Poland is required of EU and EEA citizens, as well as senior executive management. Certain occupations – including musicians and actors (up to 30 days) are allowed to work in Poland without any additional permits. Unless otherwise stated in international agreements, production crew members from countries other than mentioned above need to obtain a work permit from the local voivode (Wojewoda) authorities. Filming Permits It is no longer prohibited to photograph military installations in Poland. Therefore it is possible to film in any location, with permission from the property manager. This must often be sought long in advance, as certain procedures need to be closed 30 days prior to the requested shooting period. The most common legal 7. Exemptions on social insurance are very limited and include students aged under 26, persons employed elsewhere paying full insurance, and certain categories of pensioners, as well as all specified work contracts which are the most common form of employment in the film industry. 104 When planning to shoot in decrepit buildings or in ruins, it is necessary to obtain an expert safety report for persons accessing the area. A positive report is essential for obtaining permit to film in such locations. Health Insurance All EU and EEA citizens are covered by health insurance in Poland. For short-term visitors carrying their European Health Insurance Card, emergency health care is available as specified by health insurance regulations of their country of origin. Film Production Insurance Completion bonds are generally uncommon in Poland. During production, the film crew and equipment must be covered by third party and accident insurance, for which most insurance companies in Poland offer a wide range of services. Poland Film Indu stry 105 the Pomeranian Film Foundation Film Industry Polish filmmakers at the 2006 Polish Film Festival in Gdynia 106 Film Industry The year 2005 saw the introduction of the Act on Cinematography in Poland and the launch of the Polish Film Institute. The new film law determines the extent of State involvement in film production and other areas of the industry. This resulted in a rapid increase in the number of films being produced in 2006 and in inducing the interest of foreign filmmakers in co-productions and film services in Poland. The Polish Film Institute actively promotes Polish cinema on the international level. A foreign film producer, festival manager or international project coordinator looking for Polish partners should turn to the Polish Film Institute for financial consulting and assistance in contacting interested parties. Funding The Polish Film Institute has an annual budget of over 25 million EUR, partially funded by a 1.5% levy imposed on TV, cinema and cable operators. The Polish Film Institute awards grants not only for film production, but also other fields of the industry, including film promotion, dissemination of film culture, professional training and film distribution. In 2007 the Polish Film Institute will grant over 15 million EUR for film production alone. In most cases, the Polish Film Institute grants funding up to 50% of the total production budget. Poland participates in the two foremost European programmes for supporting the audiovisual industry – Eurimages and the European Union’s MEDIA 2007 programme. Warsaw is home to Media Desk Poland, which assists producers in completing forms and settling the accounts for projects supported by MEDIA. One of the key investors in film is Polish Television (Telewizja Polska SA). It is to date the largest film producer in Poland. However, commercial TV channels, including Canal+, TVN and occasionally Polsat and HBO Polska also participate in film production. A foreign producer seeking Polish production partners has a wide range of possibilities. There are a number of businesses specializing in film production services. Most of them focus on a particular field – be it feature, documentary or animation production. Although the majority of players in the film industry consists of private businesses, among them most production, distribution and exhibition companies, there is also a number of State-owned film establishments, a unique element of the structure of the Polish film industry. These regional organizations, currently undergoing ownership transformation, include some of Poland’s largest film studios, small-scale animation studios and film production units1. However the ownership structure is not at all a key factor, as all Polish private and public entities are eligible for public funding. Production Poland Polish Cinema Today The Polish market of film-related services is well-developed and many producers choose to make use of existing facilities, which saves them the cost of investing in developing their own production base. There are numerous companies that specialize in services for various stages of production, from casting, lighting equipment and special effects to editing, sound production and finally subtitling. Only a few major studios have complex facilities, offering everything from soundstages to editing services. Distribution The film distribution and exhibition market is slightly more concentrated, with approximately a dozen key players. Most film distribution companies have a complex approach to their film product, dealing with everything from cinema distribution to television sales and the DVD market. Polish independent film distribution companies have also recently been increasing their involvement in film production, contributing to the film budget and subsequently acquiring picture rights. This form of co-production has proven very effective and will undoubtedly continue to gain in importance. 1. In Polish terminology film production companies are often referred to as Studios (Polish: Studio filmowe), whereas film studios are commonly known under the term Wytwórnia. 107 Film Industry The Polish distribution market itself is dominated by Hollywood studios and their affiliates – UIP, Forum Film (Buena Vista International), CinePix (20th Century Fox) and Warner Bros. Apart from these major players, there are a few local companies that play a key role in the market. Two of them deserve special mention, one being Interfilm – an independent distribution company that reached blockbuster success with Jan Pawe∏ II / Pope John Paul II (2006) and a number of local romantic comedies. The second company is Gutek Film, credited with familiarizing Polish audiences with the works of some of the world’s most prominent filmmakers, including Lars von Trier and Pedro Almodovar. Exhibition The number of cinemas in Poland today is approx. 700, of which 46 are multiplex cinemas and another 4 are IMAX. In recent years the number of multiplex cinemas has been increasing steadily. Unfortunately this brought on the inevitable drop in the number of single-screen cinemas, although funding from the Polish Film Institute can help improve their situation in the future. Film Schools Education for film professionals is one of the fastest growing segments of the film industry in Poland. Apart from the two leading schools: the renowned National Film Television & Theatre School (PWSFTiT) in ¸ódê and the Radio and Television Department of the Silesian University (Uniwersytet Âlàski) in Katowice, and several prestigious acting schools, young filmmakers can also study film-related fields at most art schools and universities. Copyright Law The key industry collective rights organization in Poland is the Association of Polish Filmmakers, actively cooperating with respective parties abroad and representing film directors, cinematographers, set designers and writers. Another authors’ association is ZAiKS, representing mostly writers and composers. Copyright management organizations are increasingly effective in securing royalties; however internet piracy remains a major problem. Film Events Thanks to participation in the EUROPA CINEMAS framework, some cinemas in major cities are able to focus on arthouse films, while the mainstream multiplex venues focus on first run pictures. Exhibition of arthouse films is also being developed through the Arthouse Cinema Network (Sieç Kin Studyjnych), financed by the Polish Film Institute and run by the National Film Archive. Good admission and box-office results in recent years have led to an investment boom in the cinema market. In Wroc∏aw alone (population: 633,000), three new multiplex cinemas will have been opened by the end of 2007, for a total of five. Bia∏ystok and Lublin, the only cities over 200,000 inhabitants without a multiplex cinema to date, will soon have two each. Two large cinemas will also be constructed in the 100,000 inhabitant city of S∏upsk. National Film Archive The Polish National Film Archive (Filmoteka Narodowa) is located in Warsaw. It is in fact the largest film archive in Poland, collecting and preserving film prints, and running a large library of cinematic literature and press. 108 There is a growing number of film festivals, educational programmes and other activities aimed at developing film culture in Poland. The largest international film festivals in Poland are the Warsaw Film Festival, Era New Horizons in Wroc∏aw and the documentary Cracow Film Festival. The national Polish Film Festival takes place annually in Gdynia and is a week-long presentation of recent film production in Poland. Apart from the major events, there is certainly more happening on the smaller, regional scale. Most major cities make efforts to be actively involved in film events, which could be useful for foreign festival coordinators seeking cooperation with Polish partners that could help obtain EU funding for their projects. Guilds and Unions The key professional organization in Poland is the Association of Polish Filmmakers (SFP) and the National Chamber of Audiovisual Producers (KIPA); however there is also a considerable number of actor guilds and trade unions for film professionals. For an index of the film industry in Poland see the business directory section of this chapter. Film Industry The years 2000 to 2004 saw a significant decrease in the number of feature film productions in Poland. Although the official number was over 20, these were mostly low-budget indie productions or TV movies. The low number of feature productions was the result of a shortage of public funding. The new film law and the launch of the Polish Film Institute led to reversing this trend and marked an increase in film production over the last two years. By 2006, feature film production in Poland increased to almost 40 films per year. These are mostly medium-budget productions of approximately 800,000 EUR. A low-budget feature debut usually costs approx. 300,000 EUR. The biggest budgets in recent years went to high-profile epic productions based on classic novels. These include Quo Vadis (21 million EUR), Ogniem i mieczem / With Fire and Sword (6 million EUR), PrzedwioÊnie / The Spring to Come (5.8 million EUR) and Pan Tadeusz (3.4 million EUR). These pictures were largely film versions of national epics, and as such were virtually guaranteed to be a box office success. The films made today are modestly budgeted, set in the present day and dealing with modern issues and universal values. Komornik / The Collector by Feliks Falk, Plac Zbawiciela / Saviour’s Square by Krzysztof Krauze and Joanna Kos-Krauze or Dzieƒ Êwira / Day of the Wacko by Marek Koterski are examples of medium-budget films set in Poland today that have gained critical acclaim and won best picture awards at the Polish Film Festival in Gdynia, and at the same time were successful at the box office. With a budget of approximately 4.2 million EUR, the largest project currently in production in Poland is the historical feature Katyƒ from the acclaimed Polish director and Academy Award winner Andrzej Wajda. Migas, Warszawa by Dariusz Gajewski, Symetria / Symmetry by Konrad Niewolski, Edi by Piotr Trzaskalski and most recently Z odzysku / Retrieval, Poland’s 2006 Oscar entry from S∏awomir Fabicki are all superb examples of such films. When looking at mainstream production, it is impossible to overlook the key role played by romantic comedies, which often reach blockbuster success at the box office and later on the DVD market. Recent hits include Dlaczego nie / Why not!; Nigdy w ˝yciu! / Never ever!; Tylko mnie kochaj / Just Love Me; Ja wam poka˝´! / I’ll Show You! and Francuski numer / French Number. Poland Film Production In Poland 2005-2006. An Overview The introduction of the new film law and the international activity of the Polish Film Institute helped to increase interest of foreign filmmakers in Poland as a potential partner for coproduction. In 2005 alone six films were coproductions, a further eight in 2006, and currently eleven more are in production. Poland has participated in the production of Strike by Volker Schlöndorff, Nightwatching by Peter Greenaway, John Kent Harrison’s Pope John Paul II and most recently in the newest features from Ken Loach (These Times). Cinema Attendance in Poland 2005-2006 Current trends in the Polish cinema market are similar to those in other European countries. The biggest box office and attendance success goes to Hollywood blockbusters that reach similar status worldwide. However, much like in other countries of Central Europe (Hungary, Czech Republic) the past year marked a significant rise in admissions to local films. In Poland these were mainly medium-budget romantic comedies. One thing unique in Poland is the incredible popularity of film biographies of Pope John Paul II (three Top10 box office hits of 2005-2006) and of films considered historically significant. 2005 The recent years have also marked the success of many up-and-coming filmmakers. It is these young people that are changing the face of Polish cinema today. Debut features have often become popular with cinema audiences, but also gained critical acclaim, winning awards at Polish and international festivals. Pr´gi / The Welts from Magdalena Piekorz, Oda do radoÊci / Ode to Joy from the trio of Anna Kazejak-Dawid, Jan Komasa and Maciej In 2005 cinema attendance slipped by nearly 30 percent in relation to the record-breaking year 2004 – partly as a result of worldwide decline in admissions. A record 224 titles were introduced to Polish screens, which unfortunately found no reflection in admissions or box office sales. Total attendance in 2005 was 23.3 million, worth 87 million EUR in box-office receipts. With Poland joining the European Union, the distribution of European films was supported 109 Film Industry through the MEDIA programme and as a result the number of European films in distribution in Poland rose to 72 titles, holding a record 23 percent share in the market. As for Polish films, 24 premiered in 2005, but none reached great commercial success. This was to change by 2006. 2006 brought an overall 30 percent increase in cinema attendance. Nine Polish features had over 200,000 admissions – a significant improvement from 2005, when not a single Polish film had reached this mark. This was one of many positive results of the launching of the Polish Film Institute. Polish audiences continued to enjoy made-for-television movies on the big screen. These motion pictures were uniquely Polish cinema successes, as each was based on the life of John Paul II and as such, while aired on TV in other countries, each had a special cinema version made for the Polish public. The number of titles increased slightly to a total of 236. Eight titles had more than one million cinema admissions (as opposed to only three in 2005). The Top 20 list contained nine family pics and three Polish features (including two in the Top 10), with another four following suit just below the Top 20 mark. The share of Polish films in total screenings is currently over 16% (not including the co-production Pope John Paul II), as compared to 3.4% in 2005. P. Bujnowicz Fabryka Obrazu With almost 1.9 million admissions, the box-office hit of the year was the TV movie Karol: A Man Who Became Pope. Eight of the Top 10 movies of 2005 were produced in the United States. Among them five were family entertainment, with Madagascar leading the list at nearly 1.4 million admissions, slightly ahead of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The three titles mentioned above were the only films to exceed one million admissions. Slightly below this mark was the recent Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (927,000 admissions). Two Disney productions made it into the Top 10 – Chicken Little and Pooh’s Heffalump Movie, with 768,000 admissions and 575,000 admissions respetively. 2006 Plac Zbawiciela by Krzysztof Krauze and Joanna Kos-Krauze 110 Film Industry No TITLE DISTRIBUTOR COUNTRY 1 2 3 4 ICE AGE 2: THE MELTDOWN TYLKO MNIE KOCHAJ POPE JOHN PAUL II CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE KAROL, UN PAPA RIMASTO UOMO THE DA VINCI CODE JA WAM POKA˚¢!
