In 1902, scientist and inventor Kazimierz Proszynski made the first
Polish narrative film, The Return of a Merry Fellow (Powrot
Birbanta). 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 corrupted 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. The A to Z of Polish Cinema fills
the gap in film scholarship, presenting an extensive factual survey
of Polish film. Through its chronology, introductory essay,
appendixes, bibliography, and 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 would be useful for any senior undergraduate or
post-graduate courses in film studies.
