The article examines how nudity was used as a promotional strategy in the Polish cinema in the 1980s. In contrast to earlier decades, the Polish movie industry delivered dozens of films that contained female nudity and erotic scenes. Some actresses like Maria Probosz, became automatically associated with such movies. Paradoxically, the Polish cinema of the 1980s was only slightly concerned with the discourse of eroticism. As Maria Kornatowska writes,The shortage of erotic sensibility was compensated by ‘bald nakedness.’’ The reasons for the increased presence of nudity on movie screens stemmed from the transformation of social lifestyle and audiences’ demand, the search for easy profit and the need to de-politicize society. Of significant importance were the influences of the growing video market and western cinema. Projections of nudity were meant to divert attention from the bleak reality of Poland enmeshed in crisis provide a sense of belonging to the Western world, and give mostly male viewers visual pleasure. It was also a marketing technique luring viewers to cinemas by bombarding them with daring posters and stills reproduced in the press and in front of movie theaters. My article will discuss and explain the ways of presenting female nudity in terms of these economic and political tasks.

Nadawcy społeczni mają obowiązek emisji audycji o treściach prospołecznych i zgodnych z profilem swej działalności, a estetyka ich przekazów jest konwencjonalna. Aby sprawdzić zasadność tych założeń, poddano jakościowej analizie filmy: The Perfect Wave (Idealna fala), Nasze dzikie serca (Our Wild Hearts) i drugą część serialu When Calls the Heart (Głos serca) emitowane w TV Trwam. Okazało się, że podejmują m.in. tematy: górnictwa, sądownictwa, ojcostwa, ekologii, funkcjonowania służb publicznych. Dokumenty recepcji wskazują na życzliwy odbiór. Sprzeciwy budzi konwencjonalna estetyka tych filmów, rzadziej przesłania religijne i społeczne.

Community broadcasters are obliged to emit pro-social programs in line with their profile, however the aesthetics of their programs and messages is traditional and conventional. To test this assumption, the second season of the TV movies: The Perfect Wave, Nasze dzikie serca and series When Calls the Heart were subjected to qualitative analysis. It was found that they addressed issues of: mining, fatherhood, ecology, and functioning of public services. Analysis of reception indicated a favourable response. Conventional aesthetics of the movies, not so much their religious and social messages, was found to be objectionable by some viewers.
