Polish Film Institute Creates Film School Digital Base

By

    WARSAW: The Polish Film Institute launched a digital library of school films made by the students and graduates of four leading Polish film schools. The collection includes over 200 productions, made in the last 40 years by the most accomplished filmmakers of Polish cinema as well as new titles made by recent debutantes. The films are available on the website for free.

    The schools involved in the project are: Lodz Film School, Silesia University Film and Television Faculty, Wajda School and Warsaw Film School.

    "We are very excited to introduce this new level of cooperation with Polish film schools. They have made their films available to the broader audience before, but the Polish Film Institute created a unified, joint catalogue of the productions made by Polish film schools. Over 200 titles is an impressive sample of their achievements. We invite all of the viewers interested in the cinema of new Polish filmmakers as well as movie fans who want to check out the first school films of masters of Polish cinema as well as most notable current Polish filmmakers," Rafał Jankowski, the Press Officer for the Polish Film Institute told FNE.

    The catalog of Polish school films is available here:
