Structured according to key themes, Polish Cinema Today analyzes
the remarkable innovations in Polish cinema emerging a decade after
the 1989 dissolution of the Soviet bloc, once its film industry had
evolved from a socialist state enterprise into a much more
accessible system of film production, with growing expertise in
distribution and marketing. By the early 2000s, an impressive,
diverse cohort of filmmakers broke through the gridlock of a small
set of esteemed, aging auteurs as well as the glut of imported
Hollywood blockbusters, empowered by the digital revolution and
domestic audience appetite for independent work. Polish directors
today challenge sacrosanct bromides about national and gender
identity, Poland's historical martyrdom, the status of the
influential Catholic Church, and the benevolent family, while
investigating the phenomena of migration and sexuality in their
full complexity. Each thematic chapter places these recent films
within a historical/cultural context nationally and
transnationally, and designs its analyses of specific works to
engage general audiences of film scholars, students, and
cinephiles.
