In the first years after 1989, films were partly financed from the state's budget as well as by public television. Still, except for a few special cases, most films are made this way.
From Andrzej Wajda
In Europe, there is no television filmmaking legislation that could assist film production because private broadcasters are not interested in supporting Polish film.
However, that old mode of Polish filmmaking virtually disappeared.
Films made in the spirit of the past continued to be made.
Eventually, the state's funding covered only the stages leading to presenting a film project to potential funding bodies. It was enough to produce a script, indicate casting and put together a budget to present it all, but nothing beyond that.
Even better, there were established two separate committees deciding on state film funding.
