Szczeciński ośrodek telewizyjny w latach 60. XX wieku. Estetyka i polityka

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the connections between aesthetic and politics as exemplified by the Szczecin Television Centre in the 1960s. Szczecin, since the establishment of the regional centre of the Polish Television (TVP), has been associated primarily with the marine and shipbuilding industry, the port, the profession of seaman, water sports, spending free time at the riverside, by the lake or at the seashore. These characteristic features of Szczecin were repeatedly emphasized by the aesthetic dimension of the films and television materials of that time period – e.g. their inherent element was the sound of a ship’s siren – which had clearly persuasive, propaganda character. The Szczecin television was created by the artists – radiomen, actors, authors, whose work was situated at the junction of two spaces: aesthetic and politic.
