Summary/Abstract: A question arises firmly: why can film makers create works in conditions of intellectual and social-political constraint and obstruction, while they cannot create them in conditions of freedom? Were these accomplished in total freedom? To answer this question, we shall select several illustrative examples for the above- mentionned countries. But, before this, let us show what the political and social context of the analysed communist period was, and what werw the artistic performances of these film makers, no forgetting to mark and describe the mechanism of propaganda and communist censure.
