Presenting the circumstances of its establishment, formation, and development, the author exemplifies the history of the ten regional film funds currently operating in Poland using this example. He shows not only the successes, but also the failures and threats to the further development of the funds in Poland. Referring to the events that were important for the formation of the funds during the last 15 years, he indicates what place they occupy in the film production system in Poland.
