The Christmas holidays are in full swing at Litera. The students have thrown their books into the furthest corner... But we urge you not to relax and to practise your language skills on your own. The best way to improve your knowledge is to watch an interesting film or TV series in Polish. And where to find such a film or series, we will tell you.
But first, let's repeat words on the topic "Cinema". This dictionary will help you in your search:
- film z napisami - film with subtitles
- najlepsze filmy polskie - best Polish films
- najciekawsze polskie filmy - the coolest Polish films
- ranking
- komedia
- dramat
- kreskówka - cartoon
- film fabularny
- film dokumentalny - documentary film
There are various resources where you will find films for free or for a small subscription fee.
And the first one is an online cinema cda.pl
A convenient search by genre and title will help you choose a film. New films appear here regularly, but you have to put up with intrusive adverts. But even here there is a way out, subscribe and watch films and series without pauses.
The second resource everyone is familiar with is the video hosting service YouTube
Here you can find classics of Polish cinema. For example, films by Andrzej Wajda: Kanał, Popioł i diament, Katyń and others. Or you can find modern films with Polish dubbing or subtitles. The main thing is to make the right request (see above for the right words).
The third resource is. ninateka.pl
"Forget YouTube and torrents," claim the creators of this unique Polish online resource. It offers an excellent collection of films, plays, concerts and radio programmes in Polish, available for free and legally.
Don't want poems, watch movies, theatre performances, read articles on different topics and all this in one place. Even kids will find a lot of interesting things here. In the section "Film" ("Tales") you will find cartoons from different years in Polish. Ninateka is constantly updated with new video and audio materials. In addition, this resource is accessible for people with disabilities.
These were the three most popular resources for finding films in Polish. But there are also online cinemas, social networks (Vkontakte, Telegram, etc.) and subscription-based streaming services (Netflix, Apple TV, etc.).
Enjoy watching!
