Summary/Abstract: The article addresses issues of regional cinema history in the case of Lower Silesia before the year 1945 and enlivens the discourse on the relationship between metropolis (Wrocław) and periphery. The development and growing significance of cinemas in local communities is shown on the examples of Strzelin – then a city of several thousand residents – and Kloster Street in Wrocław. Discourse of metropolis and periphery is expanded by the examples from Świdnica (“the first stationary cinema in Silesia”), Polanica Zdrój (“the biggest cinema in Kłodzko County”) and Bolesławiec (“the first city in Lower Silesia in which sound films where projected”). The article is concluded with a description of Historical Database of Cinemas in Lower Silesia, which – being a tool for data capturing and analysis – constitutes a substantial support for traditional methods of research in humanities.
