“Graduation Heist” under the patronage of the Minister of Education

The Minister of Education, Barbara Nowacka, has granted her honorary patronage to the film “Graduation Heist”, a production that explores the first important choices, friendship and readiness for change that young people face in secondary schools at a pivotal moment in their education. The film is produced by Laniakea Pictures, a subsidiary of EKIPA Holding.

“Graduation Heist” is a production about the young and for the young, with daring action in the background. The film touches on themes connected with growing up, friendship and passions, as well as the pressure young people face.

– Working with the Ministry of National Education is a great honour for us and a sign of trust. It shows that this film matters not only as entertainment but also educationally. We believe that “Graduation Heist” will spark important conversations at school and at home about the emotions and challenges young people face – says Łukasz Wojtyca, CEO of Ekipa Holding.

The project is an innovative fusion of the influencer world and the film industry – for the first time in Poland, the reach of online creators has been used on such a scale in a feature film production.

The film’s release is scheduled for 28 February, and interest in screenings across Poland is growing by the day. The production has the potential to become one of the most popular and significant stories about contemporary Polish youth.
