Feature Film Production

Here is how this works in practice. We give full-service production support for feature films across Poland, setting up each logistical element from pre-production through wrap. Our team handles crew assembly, gear sourcing, location scouting, permits and daily operations, scaling from small independent crews to major studio shoots of 150 or more. We secure access to Poland's most sought-after locations through set up relationships with film commissions, regional film funds and private estates, and set up pro needs for period and costume features. This includes the country's costume houses and prop suppliers.

Here is the short of it. We guide shoots through the 30% cash rebates on qualifying Polish spend administered via the Polish Film Institute, advise on co-production treaty compliance, bill in Polish zloty with 23% VAT, and give bilingual Polish-English production running for global features filming in Poland.

Here is the breakdown. Poland holds a major place in world cinema. Roman Polanski's 'The Pianist', shot in Warsaw, won three Academy Awards including Best Director in 2003. Pawel Pawlikowski's 'Ida' became the first Polish film to win the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 2015, and his 'Cold War' earned three Oscar nominations. Andrzej Wajda received an Honorary Oscar in 2000, and recent nominations have gone to Jan Komasa's 'Corpus Christi' and Jerzy Skolimowski's 'EO'.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Global shoots including 'Schindler's List', filmed in Krakow, and 'The Zone of Interest' have used Polish locations and infrastructure. The country gives medieval cities, castles and fortresses, reconstructed Old Towns, the Tatra Mountains, the Baltic coast and industrial-heritage settings, alongside a crew base trained through respected film schools. The 30% rebates, roughly sixteen regional film funds and a cost base below Western Europe make Poland a competitive feature-film base.
