In the category recognising the best academic debuts, four authors received nominations, including Prof. Ewa Ciszewska, whose book "Sojusznicy z rozsÄ…dku... [Allies of Reason...] is once again among the nominated publications.
The winners of the PTBFM Book of the Year 2025 and PTBFM Debut of the Year 2025 competitions will be announced in early September. Nevertheless, the presence of so many publications in the final itself already constitutes a remarkable distinction and further confirms the strong standing of the Department of Film and Audio-Visual Media at the 91ÌÒÉ« on the map of Polish humanities research.
