Polish film award
The Polish Film Prize ( Polish: Polskie Nagrody Filmowe - Orły ) is Poland's national film prize . It was first awarded in 1999 on the initiative of Niezależna Fundacja Filmowa (NFF) and Krajowa Izba Producentów Audiowizualnych (KIPA). Since then, the Polska Akademia Filmowa, the Polish Film Academy, which has more than 500 members, has awarded prizes to the best Polish cinema productions and filmmakers of the previous year in Warsaw at the end of February and beginning of March .
A film qualifies in the year preceding the award ceremony if it was shown for a fee for at least seven days in a public cinema between January 1 and December 31. The productions must have been made by a Polish film crew and Poland must be specified as the production or co-production country. The winners are determined by a qualified Polish jury consisting of filmmakers and awarded a stylized golden eagle statuette, the so-called Orzeł ( German eagle ). The storage and transport of the envelopes that announce the winner, incumbent since 2005 notaries of the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the selbige task even with the award of the American Film Awards Oscar hold.
The last presentation of the Polish Film Awards took place on March 25, 2019.
