Krzysztof Trojanowski, who studied film culture under Nazi occupation, wrote:
Feature films screened at cinemas were intended primarily as entertainment used to ‘neutralise’ the society, creating an illusion of “normality”. This policy of the Nazi occupiers was evident in the strict selection of film repertoire: despite popular belief, it lacked overtly propagandist contents, as well as any references to the ongoing war or military themes.
The cinema programme changed every Friday, and the repertoire was printed by the collaborationist newspaper Nowy Głos Lubelski. The monopolist distributor printed leaflets advertising the films, and cinema workers often stamped them to leave no doubt where the film would be showing.
