This book is the result of two years research by artists Marysia Lewandowska and Neil Cummings on Amateur Film Clubs in Poland under Socialism. The work of the enthusiast reveals a range of interests and experiences generally invisible amongst the relentless flow of the state sponsored, or professionally mediated. The enthusiasts invert the logic of work and leisure, becoming truly productive when pursuing their passions. Featuring commissioned essays and never before published documentary material, Enthusiasts project celebrates the astonishing creativity of amateur film makers.
