Kapitał niejedno ma imię… Przemysł filmowy w świecie przedcovidowym
Capital Has Many Names... The Film Industry in the Pre-Covid World

Summary/Abstract: Review of Marcin Adamczak’s book on the functioning of the modern film market: Kapitały przemysłu filmowego. Hollywood. Europa. Chiny [Capitals of the Film Industry: Hollywood. Europe. China] (2020). The book consists of three chapters, which describe: the Hollywood cinematographic system from its beginnings to the present day; the Eurocentric festival subsystem based on building social, cultural and symbolic prestige; and the growing role of China in the landscape of contemporary film production and distribution. The book contains also methodological proposals, which can be used in further research concerning not only the functioning of the film market, but also other creative industries, although it is impossible to predict whether in the post-covid world these markets will function according to the rules described by Adamczak.
