The building will be located within the compact development of the Documentary and Feature Film Studios complex in Warsaw's Mokotów district, at 21 Chełmska Street, plot no. 16/3, precinct 1-03-11, in its southeast corner.
This will include the implementation of various educational workshops, including, inter alia, the fields of: virtual production, film production, sound engineering, animation, post-production, special effects, camera and acting workshops, and the Project: Audiovisual Technology Laboratory, Exhibitions - Film Set 2.0. The investment includes the purchase of educational equipment and cinema auditorium equipment, as well as equipment for the exhibition hall, outdoor exhibition, outdoor cinema, and cinema auditorium.
A major attraction within the investment area will undoubtedly be the publicly accessible Film Park, providing an open, green space for recreation, meetings, and integration within the WFDiF grounds for participants in activities and workshops as part of the educational and cultural offer, as well as for the local community. The Film Park will host permanent and temporary exhibitions, as well as various outdoor events, including film music concerts and a summer open-air cinema.
The Educational Center and the Film Park will serve as a "third place", which, according to sociologist Ray Oldenburg's theory, is a neutral space, unrelated to work and home, vibrant with the life of the local community, strengthening its sense of belonging and connection with others. The WFDiF investment will contribute to the creation of an innovative and unique place for cultural education, based on community engagement and initiatives, and consequently, will increase public involvement in cultural life. The project will result in socio-economic revival by improving the quality of public space, in line with the principles of spatial order and aesthetics, and promoting environmentally friendly solutions.
The project will significantly increase access to the cultural and educational offer for audiences in Warsaw, Masovian Voivodeship, and other voivodeships. It will also adapt to the needs and expectations of diverse audiences.
As part of the project, WFDiF will combine its valuable film resources with the planned cultural and educational offer and new infrastructure to create a space for social integration. Furthermore, the core of WFDiF's activities – film art – enjoys widespread popularity in culture.
