Półka filmowa okiem kamery. Polscy operatorzy w Hollywood – artyści czy rzemieślnicy?
Film Shelf Through the Lens of a Camera. Polish Cinematographers in Hollywood – Artists or Craftsmen?

Summary/Abstract: Certainly Polish cinematographers are the biggest stars among Polish film artists in the world firmament. They were the ones who built the reputation of Polish filmmakers in Hollywood already in the 1960s and paved the way for their younger colleagues. “Some time ago, Jack Nicholson half-jokingly, half-seriously claimed that he could not imagine a well-photographed film without the participation of Poles. The talent, skills and resourcefulness of our cinematog-raphers have earned them the admiration of Hollywood directors and producers and recognition around the world” (Top 10..., 2013). However, relatively few Poles are still aware of the fact that the people in question took part in the production of the world’s greatest hits - films that are loved by audiences around the globe, earn billions of dollars and win prestigious awards at the world’s largest festivals. The author of the article lists the names of those without whom the world cinema would not be the same. The characters of the text are: Dariusz Wolski, Sławomir Idziak, Janusz Kamiński, Andrzej Sekuła and Łukasz Bielan. Such important names as Adam Holender, Łukasz Żal, Alexander Gruszynski and Andrzej Bartkowiak are also mentioned.
