Polskiego filmu oświatowego dzieje nieznane
The Unknown History of Polish Educational Film

Summary/Abstract: The history of the Educational Film Studio is as old as the post-war history of Polish cinema. The book "Elementarz Wytwórni Filmów Oświatowych" ["The Primer of the Educational Film Production Company"] (2018) by Michał Dondzik, Krzysztof Jajko and Emil Sowiński, based on impressive documentary material, takes into account this perspective, but is also another item in the catalogue of film studies works devoted to Łódź – the most important film city in Poland. Several decades of the Educational Film Production Company’s existence also means dozens of directing careers, experimenting with genres of educational film, competition on the changing market of audiovisual services. This is also the question posed at the end of the more than 400 pages of the monograph – what next? The Primer of Educational Film Production Company, despite being the authors’ book debut, is one of the most important film studies published in recent months.
