This article focuses on the influence of the cinema on inhabitants of small towns in the Kielce Region until the outbreak of the Second World War. It is important to remember that film awareness among the audience in big cities and provincial places was totally different. In Polish pre-war metropolitan centres the cinema was one of many opportunities of participation in cultural life, beside theatres, concerts, revues and circus. In small towns the cinema was considered to be the most important form of provincial cultural life. Films were the main source of information and education that broadened people’s horizons. Watching films from exotic countries such as China which were called ‘scenic’, the provincial public had a chance of broadening their knowledge about the world. The participation in common screenings gave viewers an opportunity to express the same emotions like joy, fear, sadness and others. Films became a favourite form of entertainment of common audience. This article concentrates on several issues: the history of cinemas in small towns of the Kielce Region, legal and economic aspects of establishing a cinema enterprise, repertoire of small towns’ cinemas of the Kielce Region and a profile of the provincial cinema audience. The text is based on archival documents and press sources.
