Young producers - a serious play

The first day of the workshops for young producers has just ended. The first part of the meeting was dedicated to the discussion on the topic of the connections between theoreticians and the persons that create films.

These often hard relations were discussed by Marcin Adamczyk – off filmmaker in the 90s, author of the book “Globalne Hollywood, filmowa Europa i polskie kino po 1989 roku” (Global Holywood, Cinematic Europe and Polish Cinema after 1989), and the columnist in “Odra”. The next part of the workshops was dedicated to the presentation of projects registered by the participants. In a relaxed yet extremely creative atmosphere, the future producers have presented their own projects that underwent a careful and constructive critique by the audience, and the special guest – Arkadiusz Wojnarowski. The remarks of the producer who took part in international co-productions, his experience in the field of enlisting co-producers and effective presentation of his ideas, turned out to be a priceless lesson for the young people. Tired, yet with heads full of ideas and newly gained knowledge they parted just to regain their strength and reunite during the next stages of gaining experience in the field of film production.
