“We are launching two CEE films in the scheme, Papusza by Joanna Kos-Krauze and Krzysztof Krauze (Argomedia sp. z o.o., Telewizja Polska S.A., Canal+ Polska, Studio Filmowe KADR) and the Latvian Berlinale Generation winner Mother I Love You by Janis Nords (Film Studio TANKA, ARTBOX ). Each of these films did over 100 festivals and was sold in several countries. We are hoping for a strong interest on VOD, especially among Polish and Latvian expats”, Jan Naszewski, CEO of New Europe Film Sales told FNE.
