General Director of the Polish Film Institute since its launch; elected to the position in competition in 2005 and again in 2010. Odorowicz co-authored the Act on Cinematography, which created a basis for today's stable system of financing film production in Poland. Previously secretary of state at the Ministry of Culture, responsible for legal, economic and European affairs, including copyrights, the media, and structural funds.
Funding from the Polish Film Institute for supporting film production does not come from tax-payer money. Based on Article 19 of the Act on Cinematography, the Polish Film Institute's funds for film support is financed by cinema operators, film distributors, broadcasters, digital platforms, and cable television operators.
The Polish Film Institute runs two complementary educational programmes: the School Film Archive, active for the past four years in over 14,000 schools, and the Academy of Polish Film, aimed at college students and organized in five cities. Both programmes present an innovative approach to teaching, feature a variety of topics on the history of Polish cinema, and offer an opportunity to experience the art of auteur cinema.
In 2011, the PFI launched a programme aimed at converting Polish cinemas to digital technology. The project focuses on financial support for local art-house cinemas that could not otherwise afford to purchase digital projection equipment. Cinemas can apply for up to 50% of total purchase costs. Thanks to the involvement of the Polish Film Institute, over 70 cinemas have received financial support to date. These cinemas now form the Polish Digital Cinemas Network.
