Film studio Kadr
The film studio Kadr (Polish Studio Filmowe Kadr ) is one of the most important film production companies in Poland . It was created in 1955 in socialist Poland. After the March riots in 1968 , the studio was dissolved and re-established in 1972. The Kadr film studio continues to operate as a film production company in Poland even after the political change. The film director Jerzy Kawalerowicz was the founder and artistic director from 1955 until it was dissolved in 1968 .
