Artyści i urzędnicy
Artists and officials

Summary/Abstract: Ewa Guderian writes about the television series Artyści, produced by the Polish Television and the National Audiovisual Institute (screenplay by Paweł Demirski, directed by Monika Strzępka). The author uses the context of Józef Szczublewski's book Artyści i urzędnicy, czyli szaleństwa Leona Schillera, which describes Schiller's struggles with the Warsaw city authorities during his tenure as the director of the Bogusławski Theatre. Guderian notes that the conflict between artists and officials, which forms the essence of the series' plot, is shown in a very conciliatory and secure way. The author criticises the creators of the series for not taking a stance on the situation of the Popular Theatre presented in the series and lack of ideological direction.
