Abstract
In this paper we elaborate on the educational use of film posters understood as film paratexts in Gérard Genette’s theory as well as in later media research. The subject of our research is cinéma de banlieue – a French film movement that situates the protagonists not only spatially, but also socially (such as La Haine, dir. M. Kassovitz, 1995, Entre les murs, dir. L. Cantet, 2008, Peur de rien, dir. D. Arbid, 2015, and Dheepan, dir. J. Audiard, 2015). By analyzing film paratexts, we include these materials in the context of cultural representations of the Parisian suburbs. Our research is established in educational and academic practice whose essential part is the in-depth work with the paratexts conducted by students and facilitated by the lecturer.

Summary
Iż będzie to film z gatunku dramatu psychologicznego, thrillera lub kina akcji, w którym „pierwiastek zła jest prawdopodobnie przedstawiony jako dominujący”. Sugerując się zdjęciami z dolnej części plakatu, rozwijali zalążek spodziewanej narracji: być może mężczyzna, którego oczy widzimy, jest poszukiwany, ścigany, wszedł w konflikt z prawem (co zapowiada obecność na plakacie linii przypominających więzienne kraty).
