description Film societies in communist Poland began to function at the end of Wladyslaw Gomulka’s era and gained popularity in the 1960s. One of them was DKF „Politechnika”, an organization created by scholars and students from Wrocław University of Science and Technology. Today, it is the oldest still-functioning film society in Wrocław and one of the oldest in Poland. The author, a contemporary member of this institution, presents its history from establishment in 1965 to the temporary suspension during the Martial Law in Poland. During that period, the most active member was Andrzej Solecki, who founded the club and served in its management until 1981. Solecki also collected a significant amount of historical documentation that serves as a source for this article. Following Solecki’s activities, the author presents the history of DKF „Politechnika” during its glory days. The text reveals a lot of obstacles that organizers had to overcome to present their audience original, thought-provoking, and often inconvenient for the communist authorities works of Polish and international cinema.
