Interwar Polish Cinema, with Łukasz Biskupski
from Radio LUZ Hosted by Radio LUZ
In this month's episode of Polish Cinema for Beginners we're going back to the very beginnings of Polish cinema — the interwar period. Even though we're only focusing on about two decades, there's a lot to cover. Who were the biggest movie stars? Why did the Poles like melodramas? And what even makes a movie Polish? Along to answer these and many more of our questions is Łukasz Biskupski — a cultural historian and film studies scholar from the University of Łódź. Note from the producer: In the episode, Łukasz mentions that Poland was “colonised” which isn’t applicable here given the context surrounding the word. A more accurate word would be “partitioned”.
