WFDiF pays special attention to new directing talent by undertaking the production of debuts (among others: Mall Girls by Katarzyna Rosłaniec, The Lure by Agnieszka Smoczyńska, The Girl from the Wardrobe by Bodo Kox or Waterline by Michał Otłowski. Since the beginning of the 90’s, WFDiF as a co-producer has supported dozens of film productions including debuts, many of which have achieved significant viewership and artistic success.

In the last three years, WFDIF has produced eight debuts.

One of the interesting initiatives at WFDiF is the Teatroteka Project – a series of screen productions of young Polish theater drama realized by young directors.  Thanks to this project, in the last three years, nearly 20 new artists had a chance to produce their debuts.

Since 2013, WFDiF has been conducting a screenwriting course – “The Script Factory” and, with great success, the “Movie Set” educational project. In last 2 years, nearly 25 000 students visited “Movie Set”.
