Summary/Abstract: This article collects information on the functioning of the system of teacher training and development in the field of film education in Poland, and proposes how the process of self-education in this area may progress. The author focuses on the most popular forms, reaching broad audiences. The starting point in the text is a discussion about the place of film education in the Polish education system, and an analysis of syllabuses. The author also attempts to analyse the direction of activities related to the development of film education methodology in Poland, reviewing the activities of individual academic centres. In the latter part of the text, she describes the content and organisational concepts of cyclical and nationwide projects. A separate paragraph is devoted to online resources for the improvement, and consequent self-education of teachers in the area of film education. The article’s conclusion contains suggestions for systemic actions which would make it possible to raise the profile of this field of education, or even help make film education a school subject.
