In 1982 in Paris, a group of Polish immigrants founded the Publishing House KONTACT, which issued 112 numbers of monthly magazine and dozens of audiocassettes broadcasted first by Radio Free Europe and then (after 1989) by the 3rd Program of Polish Radio. In 1984 KONTACT began producing films and television programs under the name Grupa Filmowa KONTAKT and later Grupa Filmowa. These programs were broadcasted by almost all televisions in the world. Polish Television broadcasted nearly 450 hours of Grupa Filmowa productions. Grupa Filmowa produced more than 400 documentary films, many hours of television programs, commercials, and several multimedia presentations.
