The directors will take part in a round table devoted to Polish cinema, held on the same day.

Poland is also represented in the other festival sections. Grzegorz Jonkajtys and Marcin Kobylecki’s animated film Ark and Joanna Jurewicz’s Goyta have been selected in the Cinéfondation and Piotr Mularuk from Yeti Films (co-producer of Peter Greenaway’s Nightwatching) features in the Producers on the Move programme (see interview)
Two industry publications from the PISF – New Polish Films 2007 and the Polish Film Guide – will be available on the Polish stand and used to promote the Polish film industry.
