The pandemic put cinemas in an extremely difficult position. The city, as in previous years, will financially support Krakow’s studio cinemas. This year, the amount allocated to aid is PLN 350,000. Applications for funding are submitted until March 26.
Small venues keep the old charm of movie watching alive
There are currently 7 studio cinemas in Krakow: Agrafka, Kijów, Kika, Kino Pod Baranami, Mikro, Paradox, and Sfinks, which are an important element of the cultural landscape of the city. For many years they have been centers for cultivating film culture, places where screenings, festivals, high-profile premieres, and visits by the most important big screen makers are organized. The last year has been a real challenge for cinemas – long months of complete closure, and now the possibility of half-full rooms translates significantly into the condition of these institutions.
Once a fan of the big screen, always a fan!
Krakow residents of Mikro and Kijów cinemas asked for financial support – fans of movies on the big screen reacted immediately, the collected sums will help them survive the next weeks or months.
In Krakow, the “Plan to support cultural activities conducted in studio cinemas” has been implemented since 2019. As part of which an open competition of offers addressed to non-governmental organizations is announced annually. In 2020, the city granted a subsidy of 121,000 PLN for events organized in Krakow’s studio cinemas, and a year earlier, in 2019, the subsidy was 93,500 PLN. This year, the city will spend 350,000 PLN on cultural activities in Krakow’s studio cinemas.
Applications can be submitted for funds
Until March 26, Krakow’s studio cinemas may submit applications for funding for their cultural activities. The open tender competition is addressed to institutions with statutory activities in the field of culture, art, protection of cultural goods and national heritage. The amount of co-financing for a given initiative may not exceed 50,000 PLN and 90% of the total cost of the task.
