description

Andrzej Wysokiński was born on July 11, 1934 in Marki, near Warsaw. After graduating from the Academy of Physical Education, he worked as a fencing and skiing coach, as well as a PE teacher at a school in Radziechowy. Andrzej’s first films were records of everyday life in Łódź with his wife Elżbieta and son Marek. As a sports enthusiast, he also recorded skiing competitions, tennis court games or foreign trips to the mountains. After separating from Elżbieta, he settled in the Beskid region of Radziechowy with his partner Jadwiga and daughter Jolanta. Andrzej recorded family films first with an 8mm tape camera, but in later years, as technology developed, he changed equipment and used VHS and digital cameras.

Film made around 1967 during a family holiday near Łódź. Marek, son of Andrzej and Elzbieta, spends time with his great-grandmother and a boy his own age, later pointing a toy gun at his dad who is filming him. Elzbieta spends time with her son outdoors. The boy climbs onto a parked car and plays with a ball. Family trip to the zoo, Marek is watching the animals in the enclosures together with his Mum and is riding the pedal car.
