Summary/Abstract: The texts collected in the book are a summary of the author’s work as a documentary film producer (1995-2016). The book explores the situation in the film industry in 2005-2022, after the implementation of the Act on Cinematography, which resulted in forming Polish Film Institute. The author analyses the mechanisms functioning among the filmmakers, and stresses that achieving success requires cooperation with other entities, e.g. those researching the market or writing about films. In his opinion, a very important element of the subjective status of documentaries is the dialogue with the viewers – a film should be treated as a communication tool.
