RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Wróblewska, Anna T1 Polish Contemporary Cinema. Between Right-wing Cultural Policy and Netflix Imperialism JF Iluminace YR 2025 VO 37 IS 1 SP 49 OP 71 DO 10.58193/ilu.1798 UL https://iluminace.cz/artkey/ilu-202501-0001.php AB This article is the first synthesis of the social, political and economic conditions of Polish cinema in recent years and their influence on the current shape of Polish cinema. This shape is changing dynamically all the time, although the direction of the changes is not obvious at the moment. In many respects the situation of Polish cinema has been exceptional in recent years. But the processes or elements of the processes described in this article are reflected in the internal markets of Central and Eastern Europe. This situation should prompt researchers to analyse the impact of the external and internal environment on national film markets in this region. The conclusions may be useful and can be translated into formal and organisational solutions in local cinema systems.
