We produce short fiction, documentary and animation films made using film technology available with the usage of modern equipment. We cooperate with all the major film studios in Poland and initiate new contacts abroad. All areas of film production work: camera equipment, sound, editing, scenery, props and set design, are involved in the making of every film from the shooting stage to the production of the final print. We are trying to keep up-to-date with each technical innovation as it appears in the world of contemporary film technology. Each year, new equipment is purchased – from cameras to picture and post-production sound facilities so that the school can give a taste of professional production and students, the future filmmakers, feel at home in this environment.
Nearly 200 audio-visual projects, resulting in 16 hours of screening, equal to the duration of over 10 full-length films – these impressive figures of annual school film production place us at the top of the largest Polish film producers. We shoot and produce student films in various parts of the world. Professional crews, modern equipment, international contacts, and most of all – the unlimited imagination of the Lodz Film School students – all this contributes to the success of the student films produced by the school.
A Lodz Film School student who is about to start work on a film project can count on extensive help. We assist the young filmmaker at all stages of the film production process from planning, through budgeting, documentation, shooting and finally producing the screening print.

After the shooting stage, the film is subjected to professional post-production. Already during the shooting of their first student films the students are exposed to a real film-set environment. The school produces film direction students’ fiction and documentary films, animation films and direction of photography students’ films on 35mm filmstock and on analogue and digital video.
We cooperate on a regular basis with outside specialized production and post-production houses, film studios, film centres, television stations and service providers offering professional equipment and film services.
