Opis obyczajów bywalców filmowej Atlantydy
Description of Customs of the Regulars of the Film Atlantis

Summary/Abstract: "Gorączka filmowa. Kinomania w międzywojennej Polsce" ["Movie Fever: Cinephilia in Interwar Poland"] (2019) by Paweł Sitkiewicz is the first Polish book-length study devoted to the film audience of the interwar period. A pioneering work in the field of audience studies, it also fills an important gap in research on cinema before 1939. The author discusses such issues as the social profile of the audience, the changes in morality accompanied by cinema, censorship, or film advertising. In his research, he uses a variety of sources: newspapers and press advertisements, memoirs, films, reviews, reportages, letters, articles and interviews. The result is the first comprehensive portrait of Polish pre-war audiences and their perception practices – sometimes extremely similar and sometimes diametrically different from ours.
