Mysłowicz’s films are shown against the background of the burgeoning Polish cinematography in that period, with particular consideration of the Cracow themes in the then still few documentaries. The author also used the film literature which has recorded the no longer existing productions of Mysłowicz and of other film companies functioning in Cracow at that time. Presented here are the documentaries relating to Cracow, earlier unknown but recently found in the archives, and also profiles of their makers. Furthermore, the style, character, and significance of the surviving films are discussed.}, doi = {}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/rbn-pau-pan/article/szczesny-myslowicz-filmowy-dokumentalista-miedzywojennego-krakowa} }
