Six months after Poland unveiled a new 30% cash rebate at the Berlin Intl. Film Festival, a wave of applications have been approved for the incentive scheme, with the first projects to access the rebate going into production in recent weeks.
The most high-profile project currently shooting in Poland is “Der Überläufer” , directed by Academy Award winner Florian Gallenberger. Based on Siegfried Lenz’s international bestseller, the historical drama is set in the summer of 1944, when a German soldier prevented from returning to the eastern front realizes he can only save himself by defecting to the enemy.
Ten film and TV projects have been approved for the rebate so far, with a handful of international productions waiting to get the green light. The rebate is already having an impact on local productions as well, with the upcoming Netflix drama “Magnezia,” co-written and directed by Maciej Bochniak, among some half-dozen projects that are currently shooting.
Bodzak said the rebate was crucial for boosting the film’s production values, allowing him to add rich period details and costly shoot-out scenes. It also helped the producer to hire talent like Waldemar Pokromski, make-up artist for the likes of Michael Haneke and Steven Spielberg , and Jan A.P. Kaczmarek, the Oscar-winning composer for “Finding Neverland.”
