" Focus on Poland "
National Film, Television & Theatre
School - Lódz, Poland
The National Film School was founded in Lódz 1948. After the war
in 1945 Lódz was the only big city near Warsaw that had not been
destroyed. Before the war Warsaw and Kraków were the cultural
centres.Now Lódz quickly established it's name alongside these.
The theatres, cinemas and opera started up again and
attracted once more the actors, performers and directors that
the war had dispersed . Thus Lódz was chosen as the new centre
of film production in Poland in the shape of the Film Studio and
Film School. From the start there were two distinct departments
within the school : Film Directing and Cinematography. Initially
the tuition programme was limited to small, simple group
productions, but soon films headed by individual students began
to emerge - shot always on the professional standard 35 mm
format.
