Ten days left to submit your project to U.S. in Progress!

U.S. in Progress connects American projects in their final production stages with leading Polish image and sound post-production companies, offering a total of over $100,000 in post-production service awards. The Head of the Polish Film Institute will award another $50,000 to be spent on post-production in Poland. The program aims to ignite collaborations between U.S. producers and Poland, with the goal of encouraging co-productions and facilitating connections with post-production services. European buyers — sales agents, distributors and festival programmers will be present as well.
