A place in the movie
Zakopane, due to its picturesqueness and rich history, serves as a background for entertainment, artistic, historical and documentary productions, often dealing with the discoverers and popularizers of the Podhale folk culture phenomenon or artists associated with the region. The filmmakers focus on the local flavour, the main feature of which is the still-living heritage of traditional culture, as well as a specific mentality that, on the one hand, grows to legendary dimensions, and on the other, is often shown schematically and stereotypically. For filmmakers, Zakopane offers landscape locations, and urban buildings with a large number of examples of typical Podhale architecture, as well as many inspiring historical and contemporary themes.
