Applications must be submitted before the commencement of shooting. 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. Fundusz Eurimages, Polish Branch ul. Puławska 61, 02-595 Warszawa tel.: 22 845 53 03, 22 845 40 41 w.281 fax: 22 845 50 45 email: [email protected] www.coe.int/t/dg4/eurimages 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 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.
