However, that old mode of Polish filmmaking virtually disappeared.

When a film is created, it is created in a language, which is not only about words, but also the way that very language encodes our perception of the world, our understanding of it.

Television theatre, as is implied in its name, should rely on adaptations of scripts written for the theatre.

It was progressively more difficult to find work in the theatre, as well.

By dint of that concern and because that society was willing to examine its particular reality, Solidarity could come into existence.

A novelty in Polish filmmaking was that it was possible to find funds for a big production. However, at the same time, the state budget committed less and less money to filmmaking.

One might have thought that the most significant change in the film industry that would come about with a transition from the communist economy to capitalism would fundamentally concern the sources of funding.
