Thoughts from our Decision Makers about the forum


Thank you for the great event. It was very well organized. I enjoyed many interesting meetings and heard inspiring pitches. Although we couldn’t get together in person, we had a very effective market.

Janine Weigold, Netflix

Kids Kino Industry is a great and extremely well organized event. It gives you a rare chance to see projects in development from eastern, middle and western European production companies and to share views and comments internationally in a professional and competent environment. KKI has truly broadened my horizon in the past years – and I can only encourage producers with an eye and sense for international projects to come to Warsaw and pitch their ideas. The exchange is invaluable.
Sandra Le Blanc-Marissal, NDR

This year’s online Kids Kino Industry event was very complete and beautifully organized. I was so impressed by the quality of the masterclasses and share with sessions, as well as my many meetings. Truly delightful and inspiring. Bravo!

Eleanor Coleman, Indie Sales

Kids Kino Industry opens doors not only to Poland, but also to Eastern Europe and the rest of Europe, in terms of some of the most promising content for children. It’s passionately and expertly organized with industry players in mind. Bravo!

Xiaojuan Zhou, Attraction Distribution

Kids Kino Industry is a well-organized event where you can meet with producers, directors, decision makers who are specialized in kids content. The well-thought-out selection of projects gives the participants an unique and worthy experience.

Vicky Schroderus, YLE
