A novelty in Polish filmmaking was that it was possible to find funds for a big production. However, at the same time, the state budget committed less and less money to filmmaking.

Cinemas gained new young audiences who wanted films made for them.

By dint of that concern and because that society was willing to examine its particular reality, Solidarity could come into existence.

At the same time, television theatre became more visibly active.

As I said earlier, there are no writers who could create a literary vision of the new reality.

Also a great part of Polish industry proved to have existed only to support the Soviet military industry, and it became superfluous and incapable of being transformed into anything else. We did not foresee that or the magnitude of these phenomena.
