We cordially invite you to read the publication summarising the 8th edition of INTERFILMLAB – an education programme aimed at enhancing the competitiveness and export possibilities of the Polish film industry.
The aim of the INTERFILMLAB 8.0 project was to provide young Polish filmmakers (especially producers and directors, but also those willing to grow professionally in specializations such as sales agents and film distribution) with current knowledge on the functioning of the international film market and building export potential immediately at the development and production planning stages, and not – as is usually the case – as late as promoting a finished film.
During the practical activities of the workshop, two issues came to light, which not only define contemporary film production standards, but also are a source of unease for the young participants of the project. The first of them was the implementation of sustainability (green filmmaking) in audiovisual production, and the second – the application of artificial intelligence in production. These themes became the most intense subjects of discussion among the filmmakers attending the workshops and training sessions, and they became the subject of the publication summarizing the project.
The full publication is available below (in Polish).
The publication was authored by Anna Wróblewska – PhD in Arts, academic teacher, writer, and culture manager. Dr Anna Wróblewska is a lecturer at the Film Art Organization Department at the Łódź Film School. Her academic interests include cultural project management strategies, the creative industry, the Polish film industry, animated film, and children’s film. She was the spokesperson for the Polish Film Institute, Munk Studio, the Polish Filmmakers Association, and the Polish Film Festival in Gdynia. She has authored and co-authored many books and articles. She received the Polish Film Institute Award twice, was honoured by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage in 2005, and is also the recipient of the bronze Gloria Artis Medal for Merit in Culture in 2015.
The publication was edited by the KOSMOPOLIS Institute Director, Marta Karnkowska. FILMFORUM Association director, Maciej Dominiak, and INTERFILMLAB project’s IT expert, Marek Pawlikowski, contributed to the substantive summary.
