Between the wars the cinemas of Hungary, Poland, and the former Czechoslovakia each claimed their pioneers of early cinema and attained significant levels of production. They first attracted international attention in the 1930s, confirming this status with a succession of politically and aesthetically challenging films from the 1950s to the present. The work of directors such as Andrzej Wajda, Mikl s Jancs , Jir  Menzel, Istv n Szab , M rta M sz ros, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Jan  vankmajer, and B la Tarr are discussed.
