Everything was state owned and donated. Some of the posters remind me of my childhood, I remember these from movie theaters. The posters often revealed the desigers' lack of knowlege of cultural movie context which was kind of funny. But a lot of these were based on clever ideas shortly and precisely describing a movie that'd give a poster a life of it's own. Too bad the Polish poster school has deteriorated in mid-80's. A lot of the authors have been working succesfully abroad since, mainly in the US. Keep in mind that most of these posters come from the commie era, when ticket sales didn’t matter at all.
