Why is it worth to join the contest and win the scholarship? We asked this question people who won in 2017 edition.

Agnieszka Wanicka, scriptwriter and director

I’ve been dreaming about this workshop for several years, but to be honest, it was difficult for me to get away for 10 days from everyday life. And the contest was an excuse to finally do it. The Film Spring Open has a unique atmosphere created by young people from all over the world and active filmmakers, which gives an unlikely belief that anything is possible. I kept this in mind exactly when I recently showed my first movie “Ticket to Cinema” at a festival in New York City, Downtown Broadway, on 44th street. And another concrete. Film Spring Open is where future film teams are formed. The best example of which is cooperation on Agnieszka Chmura movie “Border Crossing”, which was partly filmed by the workshop’s participants. Film Spring Open energy really works and participation in the competition can be the beginning of a career path.
