In 1902, scientist and inventor Kazimierz Proszynski made the first
Polish narrative film, The Return of a Merry Fellow. Since then,
the Polish film industry has produced a diverse body of work,
ranging from patriotic melodramas and epic adaptations of the
national literary canon to Yiddish cinema and films portraying the
corrupt side of communism. Poland has produced several
internationally known films, including Andrzej Wajda's war trilogy,
A Generation (1955), Kanal (1957), and Ashes and Diamonds (1958);
Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water (1962); and Andrzej Munk's The
Passenger (1963). Often performing specific political and cultural
duties for their nation, Polish filmmakers were well aware of their
role as educators, entertainers, social activists, and political
leaders. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Polish
Cinema fills the gap in film scholarship, presenting an extensive
factual survey of Polish film. Through a chronology; an
introductory essay; appendixes, a bibliography; and over 300
cross-referenced dictionary entries on films, directors, actors,
producers, and film institutions, a balanced picture of the
richness of Polish cinema is presented. Readers with professional
interest in cinema will welcome this new work, which will enhance
senior undergraduate or postgraduate courses in film studies.
