Summary/Abstract: Development of cinema opened up new prospects for the education process. The fi lm has enabled a new way of presentation of various issues to students, supplementing traditional forms of information transmission. It should be noted, however, that the number of fi lm productions have a purely entertaining asset, free of educational value. Consequently, the use of multimedia in education is sometimes seen as a manifestation of confusion between education and entertainment. The result of this process is the so-called edutainment. It is interesting, therefore, to present the possibilities of use the fi lm in the process of building young people identity and value system. The paper presents Polish initiatives of the fi lm education and their role in creating contemporary educational environment.
