“Romanticism” (Silex Films)

SPOTLIGHT ON POLAND For the second time, Cartoon Forum had the spotlight on one country. This year was Poland, which has produced the creation of notable works of art in the seventy-year history of Polish animated film. The animation industry in Poland has shown a great potential over the last few years and there are more than 30 active animation studios. In 2017, the budget for development and film production amounted to 94 million PLN (21.3 million EUR). The allocation for the production of animated films is approximately 20 million PLN (4.6 million EUR) (including the production of TV series, films for children and youth and animated films). Polish animation appeared as a constant thread throughout Cartoon Forum: presentations of Polish studios during Croissant Shows and Polish Party. Out of its five selected projects, one in co-production with Italy particularly attracted the interests: “Leo Da Vinci” by Warsaw Movie Home (and the Italian Gruppo Alcuni).
