Polski film za granicą: getto, przedsionek salonu czy uniwersalna niewidzialność?
Polish Film Abroad: A Ghetto, Living Room Foyer or Universal Invisibility?

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to three issues: the author’s experience conducting studies on Polish cinema at a British university, the reception of Polish cinema abroad, especially in the UK, and the study of Polish cinema in Poland and abroad. Mazierska argues that the prestige of Polish cinema abroad is relatively low, which adversely affects the potential interest of students in studying it. This is due to the adoption by the majority of Polish filmmakers of a “major province” strategy, aimed at building a domestic audience in Poland. Such a strategy also dominates among Polish film scholars. Abroad, in turn, the study of Polish cinema is usually part of the study of Eastern European cinema.
