"The initiative of the Ministry to establish a Films Commission to promote single window clearance for necessary permissions to foreign production companies and film makers would be shared with the Polish Government," an I-B statement today said.

The statement added that it was expected that this idea would facilitate film tourism in the country.

During her discussions, Soni would talk about the possibilities for enhancing the cooperation between India's Directorate of Film Festival and Polish Government. The endeavour would be to organise Film Festivals in both countries, the statement said.

Soni is also expected to share the experience of Doordarshan as a public service broadcaster in terms of programming, content development, infrastructure road map with her Polish counterparts.

 

The possibility of promoting cooperation between the activities of the two national broadcasters would also be explored in the areas of training, technology, content development and possibility of promoting DD through its DTH platform in countries such as Poland.

During this visit Soni will also be signing an Audio visual Co-production Agreement with B Zdrojewski, Minister of Culture and National Heritage of the Polish Government.

This would provide a legal framework for promoting AV productions, especially production of films for Cinema and Television, the I-B statement said.

The country had organised a special package with the spotlight on Poland during the last International Film Festival of India at Goa.
