Kino mocnego uderzenia. Polska muzyka rockowa w polskim filmie dokumentalnym lat 60. i 70.
Cinema's strong Impact. Polish Rock Music in the Polish Documentary Film of the 60s and 70s

Summary/Abstract: Polish rock music of course means certain artists and their work in text and sound (dating back to the turn of the 1950s and 1960s). Polish Rock, now over half a century old, has a worthy companion in documentary film. The article presents the meeting points of Rock and film during the 1960s and 1970s, when Polish rock music was developing, taking on most ambitious forms, but when it also experienced moments of crisis. Some aspects of this were recorded in documentaries – both in the form of the Polish newsreel and short documentaries (especially „Big Beat. Opus II” by Andrzej Trzos and Krzysztof Szmagier and „Success” by Marek Piwowski). Although research material is not abundant in quantity, its analysis taking into account its historical context leads to many interesting discoveries, which are a necessary starting point for further reflection on successive decades of coexistence of Polish rock music and the documentary.
