Summary/Abstract: Anatol Stern’s interwar film journalism makes it possible to trace how the consciousness of the artist working in the sphere of modern “industrial culture” was shaped (Harro Segeberg’s term). The author describes the consequences of the transition from the field of literature to the cinematographic industry and the ambivalence that accompanied the artist who transformed himself from a writer with social authority to a “provider of texts”. The author also shows how Stern’s functioning within a literary institution influenced his way of thinking about the relationships between literature and film, the essence of writing and about copyright.
