Beschreibungen
<span><span>In 1902, scientist and inventor Kazimierz Prószyński made the first Polish narrative film,</span><span> The Return of a Merry Fellow</span><span>. Since then, the Polish film industry has produced a diverse body of work, ranging from patriotic melodramas and epic adaptations of the national literary canon to Yiddish cinema and films portraying the corrupt side of communism. Poland has produced several internationally known films, including Andrzej Wajda’s war trilogy, </span><span>A Generation</span><span> (1955), </span><span>Kanal</span><span> (1957), and </span><span>Ashes and Diamonds</span><span> (1958); Roman Pola</span><span>ński’s </span><span>Knife in the Water</span><span> (1962); and Andrzej Munk’s </span><span>The Passenger</span><span> (1963). Often performing specific political and cultural duties for their nation, Polish filmmakers were well aware of their role as educators, entertainers, social activists, and political leaders. </span></span>
