Thanks to an agreement between the Marshall of the Małopolskie Voivodeship and the Municipality of Krakow, the Krakow Festival Office has created a new organization, responsible for supporting film and television productions. 

The main area of activities for the Film Commission is assistance in the realisation of film productions. This support is expressed through the maximum possible level of administrative facilitation concerning all required permits and full co-operation by local authorities, as well as access to public places throughout the region. The Film Commission co-ordinates contacts between producers and officials, the police, municipal police, fire brigade and emergency health services. Thanks to procedures established by the Krakow Festival Office, all proceedings take place in the most expedient possible manner. In addition, Krakow and Małopolska are famed for their rich base of hotels, and the Office’s ongoing co-operation with them allows the creation of a highly advantageous accommodation options for members of film crews. 

Krakow Film Commission also aids partners in the early phases of production. Scouting out the right filming locations is facilitated by a database presenting several hundred attractive sites all around the Region. Assistance is also available in arranging access to any building, including private ones, through ongoing partnership with owners and managers of lovely outdoor locations and other properties. The Krakow Film Commission’s partners can also take advantage of our continually updated list of specialists working in film and television production as well as experienced firms working in the industry. Krakow, the centre of Polish theatre and arts education, as well as the home of nationwide television networks, is naturally the site of numerous film projects; it is the possibilities provided by highly qualified personnel and logistical support that allow almost any type of production to be carried out here. 

Another benefit working with the Krakow Film Commission is the possibility of financial support for film productions through the Krakow Regional Film Fund, operated by the Krakow Festival Office.
