Polish Film Institute

Background
The Polish Film Institute is a state legal entity established in 2005 to support the development of cinematography. The institute operates on the basis of the Act of 30 June 2005 on cinematography, the Act of 9 November 2018 on financial support for audiovisual production and its statute.

(2005-)
Logo: On a black background, a circle is drawn, then various  lines follow suit. The lines form a grid inside the circle with a "X" in the center. Four white squares then fade in, the outer one being fainter than the rest, and then gain a color on the insides, and the center square also turning. The grid then fades out, and "POLISH FILM INSTITUTE" appears letter-by-letter, which then turns white.

Closing Variant: The box is moved to the left and the text is arranged like this:

POLISH FILM INSTITUTE

FX/SFX: The circle drawing, the lines and the name appearing letter-by-letter.

Music/Sounds: A string fanfare, with a piano played at the end.

Music/Sounds Variant: The closing variant has the ending theme of the movie playing over.

Availability: Common in Poland but rare in the US. This can be seen on Wolf, a co-production with Screen Ireland.

Editor's Note: None.
