The Polish-American Co-production meetings will also feature the Polish Film Institute's presentation about the Polish tax incentives scheme, as well as two co-production case studies with Klaudia Śmieja-Rostworowska (Madants) and Radka Bardes (Orka Film).

The experts consulting Polish projects this year will be: Hilda Somarriba (PrismMedia), Ryan Kampe (Visit Films), Scott Macauley (Filmmaker Magazine), Frederic Boyer (Tribeca FF, Reykjavik IFF). Ryan Kampe from Visit Films will also lead a discussion on changing post-pandemic distribution patterns.
