INSTITUTION

It is not easy to portray the mundane routine of the bureaucratic order which could and sometimes still can be found at public offices. Filling out paperwork, dealing with requests for more and more documents, preparing inventories and adding documents on file... It might seem there is nothing cinematic about it... well, there is.

Around sixty films, produced between 1940’s and 90’s, have already undergone the digital remastering process at WFDiF in Warsaw. They include film portrayals of Polish cities, documentaries depicting the daily life in the countryside, portrayals of athletes, artists and representatives of other, often declining professions. Another interesting film collection includes pieces in which music plays the lead role. They allow us to get to know, for example, All That Jazz, so popular in the 50’s and 60’s. Among the remastered productions, we can find, among others, films by Karabasz, Łoziński, Munk and Ślesicki. These works contribute to the rich history of the Polish documentary school.
