Robotnice wychodzą z kina
Female Workers Are Leaving the Movie Theater

Summary/Abstract: One of the first films by the Lumière brothers, Workers Leaving the Factory, contains – as in a lens – the issues discussed in the article: the camera’s relation to the life and customs of various social groups, and cinema as a way of spending free time. The text is an attempt to synthetically capture the changes in the practices of film watching – from cinematography and cinema to television and streaming – and the attitudes of viewers, the forms of their involvement in the screening, experiencing it and identifying with the presented narratives, as well as the changes in viewership accompanying the changes of cinema. It muses over Roland Barthes’ essay Leaving the Movie Theater.
