Position of the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School of the University of Silesia in Katowice on royalties for creators for the use of their works on streaming platforms and VOD.

We express our deep opposition to the removal from the draft amendment of the Copyright and Related Rights Act of a provision that was intended to ensure creators are appropriately compensated for the use of their works on streaming platforms and VOD. Our concern stems from the worry about the future of young students. We must take responsibility for their sense of certainty in the profession they wish to pursue.

The actions of the legislators are contrary to the principle of appropriate and proportional remuneration, expressed in Article 18 of the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2019/790 of 17 April 2019 on copyright and related rights in the digital single market and amending Directives 96/9/EC and 2001/29/EC. The principle expressed in this article aims to protect the interests of creators by ensuring they receive a fair share of the profits generated from the digital distribution of their works.

In the face of dynamic technological development and the digital media market, our priority should be to find a balance between protecting the rights of creators and ensuring access to culture for society.

Still from the movie 'Tandem' | by K. Lewek

Tandem heads to Canada! Pure cinema by Katarzyna Lewek will debut at the 35th edition of the Living Skies Student Film Festival, bravo!

🎬 Tandem | directed and photographed by Katarzyna Lewek | production management by Bernadeta Mende & Maja Zilbert | produced by the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School at the University of Silesia

Antek lives like in a cage. An old, stationary bike, two mice, and a couch comprise his entire world. The world of someone who probably will never walk again. However, one day an unexpected visit reminds him of an old passion, and a buddy takes him outside to try riding a tandem.

📅 The festival will take place from April 4th to 6th, 2024.

We warmly congratulate Katarzyna and the rest of the team, looking forward to news about awards for the film. Good luck!

  • School participation can be registered until March 1, 2024. However, you have time until April 15 to submit the competition entry.

🎥 This project aims to promote the idea of entrepreneurship and to discover and develop teenagers' predispositions for making informed choices about their further education path and making accurate decisions regarding their future profession or starting a business.
