Poland announces 25% filming incentive

International producers will need to work with a Polish co-producer and there will be a per-production cap.

Poland has been steadily building its global production appeal. Last autumn KFTV spoke to a group of high-profile US location managers who took part in a familiarisation trip to the country.

“I think Poland is a refreshing alternative to some of the major hubs we've seen in so many films,” said location manager Becky Brake, a veteran of the Mission: Impossible franchise, following the trip.

“As more and more people are exposed to what Poland has to offer and the seeming ease of working there, I think the potential is great.”

Film commission figures recently revealed that most international projects shot in Poland in 2016 filmed for only a couple of weeks. A formal filming incentive could help expand production schedules and increase inward investment to Poland’s economy.
