Abstract: The goal of the research. Introduction into scientific circulation of printed film posters from collection of the Fine Arts Department of the Institute of Book Studies of the V. I. Vernadskyi National Library of Ukraine as visual information sources for studying the Ukrainian-Polish cultural relations of the 1960s-1980s. Methodology. The method of systematization was used to work out the collection of polonika in the fond of Ukrainian printed film posters of the V. I. Vernadskyi National Library of Ukraine. The historical and cultural method is used to study the history of the Polish cinema, the activities of film organizations and joint projects of Polish filmmakers in cooperation with artists from other countries. Art criticism analysis is used for figurative and stylistic characteristics of film posters dedicated to the Polish cinema. Scientific novelty. Separated from the collection of Ukrainian printed film posters of the Fine Arts Department of the Institute of Book Studies of the V. I. Vernadskyi National Library of Ukraine, collection of posters on the Polish subjects, for the first time, became the object of study in the context of studies of the existence of the Polish cinema in the second half of the 1950s – early 1980s in Ukraine. Conclusions. A remarkable revival of the Soviet-Polish cultural cooperation in the early 1960s and the active arrival of new Polish films in Ukrainian distribution led to the emergence of such a phenomenal phenomenon as polonika in domestic printed film posters. Posters made by Ukrainian artists in the second half of the 20th century are now perceived as peculiar artifacts, original sheets of fine publications on the history of the Polish cinema art of the corresponding period, as documentary sources of cinematographic biographies and national film production in Poland. They represent a wide genre and thematic direction of Polish films advertised and promoted in Ukraine in the late 1950s – early 1980s and at the same time are important visual and informational sources for the study of the Ukrainian-Polish cultural and artistic relations. A detailed analysis of individual samples of film posters clearly demonstrates the specifics of this type of poster graphics and illustrates the peculiarities of creative experiments of Ukrainian artists in artistic advertising of Polish films.

Keywords: Polonika, Polish cinema, the 20th century Ukrainian printed film posters, Fine Arts Department of Institute of Book Studies of V. I. Vernadskyi National Library of Ukraine, Ukrainian artists.
