At the Short Film Mar­ket begin­ning today in Clermont-​Ferrand, dur­ing the biggest and the most import­ant Inter­na­tional Short Film Fest­ival in Clermont-​Ferrand, France, Poland will again pro­mote its films. The POL­ISH SHORTS stand, pre­pared as every year by Krakow Film Found­a­tion, will be one of sev­eral dozens national stands, present­ing cine­ma­to­graphy from around the world.

On the stand, the inter­ested vis­it­ors of the Mar­ket will have an oppor­tun­ity to find inform­a­tion about the latest Pol­ish short-​length films, watch the trail­ers, get in touch with Pol­ish film pro­du­cers (rep­res­ent­at­ives of Dom­ino Film, Appet­ite Pro­duc­tion and Stu­dio Munka will be present in Clermont-​Ferrand), learn about the cop­ro­duc­tion pos­sib­il­it­ies and Pol­ish fest­ivals present­ing short-​length films. Each vis­itor will receive the DVD “Pol­ish Shorts 2009“ — a DVD issued spe­cially for this occa­sion, and a follow-​up to last year’s edi­tion, which was quite pop­u­lar. On the DVD, there is a selec­tion of short-​length fea­ture films pro­duced in 2009 and form­ing a set of the most inter­est­ing and the most rep­res­ent­at­ive Pol­ish short-​length films.
Pol­ish film pro­du­cers, present in France, will also have a chance to take part in short-​length film co-​production forum, organ­ized for the second time by the French film insti­tu­tion Sauve Qui Peut le Court Metrage in cooper­a­tion with Marche du Film Court de Clermont-​Ferrand, CNC and Media Desk France. Krakow Film Found­a­tion, which is the Pol­ish part­ner of the Forum, has chosen the pro­jects by Appet­ite Pro­duc­tion and Dom­ino Film, giv­ing them a chance for show­ing their plans and achieve­ments in front of a large group of experts, which means an oppor­tun­ity to find a for­eign co-​producer or a pos­sib­il­ity of hav­ing the film bought to be broad­cast by import­ant TV chan­nels, among oth­ers ARTE or Canal+.

You can also watch Pol­ish films in Clermont-​Ferrand. The fest­ival audi­ence will see a short fea­ture film, tak­ing part in the con­test: “Siemany” by James McGoldrick (Bel­gian co-​production). In the video lib­rary of the Mar­ket, you can see as much as 19 Pol­ish short-​length doc­umenatries, fea­ture films and anim­a­tions within the frames of the spe­cial pro­gramme Pol­ish Shorts.

The Fest­ival will last until 6^th Feb­ru­ary, and the fair until 5^th Feb­ru­ary.
