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

As I said earlier, there are no writers who could create a literary vision of the new reality.

The difficulty with the present state of affairs is that there is no legislation on the sources of funding for the Polish film industry. There is no legislation concerning filmmaking. And, there is no legislation on television that would be beneficial to filmmaking.

It turned out that the country was helpless in the face of a new reality.

However, that old mode of Polish filmmaking virtually disappeared.

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

We expected that people were just waiting for the collapse of the Soviet Union, or at least for its retreat, and they were going to be full of initiative in all areas of life - in culture, in economy and in politics.
