Wow. This is fully legit: >In the years 2018-2021, the Polish Film Institute, the Documentary and Feature Film Studios and Studio Filmow Rysunkowych implemented a Project (number POPC.02.03.02-00-0007 / 17), named: >‘Digital restoration and digitization of Polish feature films, documentaries and animated films in order to ensure access in all fields of distribution (cinema, television, Internet, mobile devices) and to preserve Polish film heritage for future generations’, under Sub-measure 2.3.2 ‘Digital sharing of resources of culture’ for Measure 2.3 ‘Digital accessibility and usefulness of public sector information’, under the Operational Programme Digital Poland for 2014-2020. >160 feature films, 71 documentaries, 474 animated films, including 10 full-length animated films have been restored as part of the project. >The project was co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.

20M to put a bunch of easily available communist movies (to which they already owned copyrights?!) on a website. Why not "preserve heritage" by "restoring" pre-war movies that have been mostly forgotten and actually do need some real restoring? Could probably restore all of them for a few M tops. Sounds like a typical EU grafting scheme. This would never get funded without EU $.

  Perhaps those movies are next :) … and it seems to me you could make this argument about any positive action, if you wanted.
