The bill introduced a tax on private broadcasters and cable television providers to fund the PFI budget. The Institute's main responsibilities are to distribute public funds for the development and promotion of national cinema by financing production and distribution of films, education, perfecting the professional skills of filmmakers and promoting Polish cinema abroad.

The new system of supporting the Polish film production became in instant success, which is largely credited to the efforts of Odorowicz, recognizing not only the potential of young Polish filmmakers but also international co-operation with other European markets.

Thanks to the new strategy implemented by the Institute, the Polish film industry saw a renaissance that blossomed in the past two years. In 2009 cinema attendance had reached a record 39 million viewers with 3 Polish titles in the top 15 films. The PFI's support of film production also increased the number of Polish films. In 2009 at the annual festival of Polish feature films in Gdynia (www.festiwalgdynia.pl/) the selection committee was able to choose from over 60 feature films. Perhaps more importantly, 11 of the 24 films in the programme were debuts by young directors.
