Film Polski
Film Polski (also Przedsiębiorstwo Państwowe Film Polski) was the state-run film production and distribution organization of Poland, founded in 1945. History On November 13, 1945, the postwar communist government decreed the formation of Polski Film as a national enterprise. Organized under the Minister of Culture Władysław Kowalski, Polski Film had control over both domestic film production and distribution of all foreign films. In the first years there was still room for smaller production companies, notably Yiddish-language. Aleksander Ford served as Film Polski's first director from 1945 to 1947.

With colleagues from the Polish United Workers' Party, Ford rebuilt the film production i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Notable directors who did their first directorial work in this medium include Robert Altman, Norman Jewison, Sidney Lumet, and Alfonso Cuarón.
