| Description | Cinema culture was a prominent place both for implementation and promotion of modernization in its socialistic idiom by the communist regime. The text gives a history of a film distribution model formed by the basic conflict between an ideological concept and an economic criteria and analyses cinema distribution as a tool for promotion of the socialist modernity. The history of cinema distribution approached from that point of view emerge as a place of conflicts, not a fluently working ideological machine. |
