Podkarpackie Film Chronicle

The program is conducive to creating conditions for the development of film productions in Podkarpacie and documenting the history and present of the region. It operates on the basis of a competition, announced once a year. So far, the 10th edition of the Podkarpackie Film Chronicle (the first in 2016) has already taken place, and nearly PLN 560,000 has been allocated to support film production of over fifty films. The competition is carried out with funds from the budget of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship.
Among the completed projects we will find films that go back to history, presenting the life and extraordinary achievements of outstanding figures of the region, such as Franciszek Kotula ("Own’s stranger", dir. Roland Dubiel), Edward Janusz ("Rzeszów’s ‘Janusze’", dir. Ilona Dusza Kowalska and Jakub Pawłowski), Aleksader Ładoś ("Passport Matters", dir. Roland Dubiel) or the title "Wieleżyński. An alchemist from Lviv" (dir. Mariusz Bonaszewski). In the extensive catalog of films from the Podkarpackie Film Chronicle, we will also find portraits of representatives of creative circles who have gained publicity and recognition in Poland and in the international arena. Among them, documents about Barbara Porczyńska, a talented painter ("Mamalarka", dir. Katarzyna Mazurkiewicz), Arkadiusz Andrejko ("There they are again", dir. Paulina Ibek), who is known for creating the so-called deskale, or about Jerzy Dyni ("And the band plays until the end", dir. Roland Dubiel), popularizer of folk music. Social topics were also of interest among the creators, such as the run of parents of children with cystic fibrosis through the Great Bieszczady Pętla ("Kilometers of Breaths", dir. Rafał Gużkowski), or the work of STORAT rescuers and their canine pupils, who are in constant readiness to search and save the lives of the missing ("Fuks", dir. Jakub Kowalczyk); or topics related to life in the wild corners of the most beautiful lands of the region: the Bieszczady Mountains and the Low Beskids ("Płaje", dir. Rado Barłowski, Łukasz Grudysz, "Fancy paradise", dir. Rafał Gużkowski).
Most of the films were shown on regional television. The catalog is also available on the YouTube channel of the Podkarpackie Film Commission.
