Warunki prawne, finansowe i organizacyjne w koprodukcji kanadyjsko-polskiej. Przypadek filmu "Przysięga Ireny"

Abstrakt

An international film co-production is a unique organisational event that adds prestige to any cinematographic production in the world. It also proves the transnational nature of the art of filmmaking, which is based on developed organisational, legal and financial models. The subject matters of co-produced films are usually universal stories or those commemorating past events that are important for the world’s history. One of these is the Second World War, which is still discovering its heroes. The article presents the production history of the making of the film Irena’s Vow, about a Polish woman awarded the title of Righteous Among the Nations. The conditions of international film co-productions are analyzed, in the context of financial and organizational assumptions, as well as in the context of geopolitical risks. In doing so, the differences between the production systems in place in Poland and Canada are highlighted.
