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

Cinemas gained new young audiences who wanted films made for them.

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

Previously the same Polish audiences would have been pressured into seeing cinema made for adults, films made by us about those spheres of life that were significant for us and which should be significant for our society.

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.

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