KFF Industry – the insider part of the 61st Krakow Film Festival took place in the first week of June. As every year, it was filled with some of the most interesting events of the documentary and animation industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pitch sessions, workshops, presentations, panel discussions, networking meetings, the CEDOC Market – co-production meetings and the KFF Video Library filled all days of KFF Industry, this year held mostly online, although we also managed to spend some time offline during industry afternoons at the Festival Centre. All KFF Industry events took place between 31 May and 5 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANIMATED IN POLAND<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly to the previous edition, the training was led by Wim Vanacker <\/strong>– a member of the selection committee for the short film competition at the Cannes IFF and former Head of the Script Department at NISI MASA and the European Short Pitch, one of the major short film pitching events in Europe.Seven projects took part in this year’s pitching, moderated by Zofia Jaroszuk. Three main distinctions were awarded – the project “All My Effing Superheros”, directed by Piotr Kabat<\/strong>, received the Sound Mind Studio Best Pitch Award<\/strong> – a voucher issued by Sound Mind Studio covering 10 days of sound post-production. Another winning project was Joanna Kożuch’s “Once There Was a Sea”<\/strong>, which received the Fixafilm Best Pitch Award<\/strong> in the form of a voucher for image post-production services valued at PLN 10,000 pln at Fixafilm. In turn, the Crew United Award<\/strong>, a five-year Crew United premium subscription for the director and producer, went to the project “Eyeshroom”, directed by Małgorzata Wowczak<\/strong> (prod. Animation Film Studio in Krakow – Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts).
