Summary/Abstract: The book concerns Polish cinema perceived as an institution of social life shaped by political, economic and artistic factors. The author focuses on the infrastructure of filmmaking as well as the practices of film production and distribution. By examining the impact of politics on the material equipment of the cinema, the attitudes of filmmakers and audiences, the shape of the systems of film production, distribution and exploitation, and the nature of the links between them, she aims to identify the basic regularities in the functioning of this institution under conditions of state monopoly and party dictate.
