Jak likwidowano polską szkołę filmową
How the Polish Film School Was Terminated

Summary/Abstract: The resolution of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the PZPR (Polish United Worker’s Party) from June 1960 presents the position of party authorities concerned about the “negative” effects of the decentralization of cinematography in 1956. The author’s attention is focused in particular on the first part of this document devoted to the assessment of creativity. The creation of film groups and a series of immensely important works created by them have changed the social status and rank of cinema in the People’s Republic of Poland. Although the creative aspirations of the community have been temporarily limited, despite the restrictions over the next dozen or so years, many outstanding films were made, which are in fact a continuation of the Polish Film School.
