Film production company “Czolowka” (the forefront) has been active since 1958 and is a state-owned film institution. The company specializes in production of documentaries dealing with history, culture, education and the military.
Many outstanding artists have cooperated with our company in film-shooting, including Krzysztof Zanussi, Wojciech Marczewski, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Witold Sobocinski, Andrzej Kostenko, Slawomir Idziak. Films produced by F.P.C. “Czolowka” which have been presented during prestigious film festivals in Poland and abroad have won many awards. Lately, in 2001, the film “I am bad” directed by Grzegorz Pacek won Grand Prix in Krakowski Festiwal Filmowy (the Cracow Film Festival).
F.P.C. “Czolowka” is also a co-producer of feature films (e.g. “Zona przychodzi noca” – Wife comes at night – the co-production with a Russian film production company).
Our company also rendered overall production services on the territory of Poland as regards the Dutch film “Character” directed by Mike van Diema (Oscar for a non-English-language film).
We also specialize in after-production, as we have ready-to-use state-of-the-art editing devices. We edit cinema and TV films, as well as series and soap operas. Our advantage is also shooting-halls with all support.
