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 shot around 1968 in Łódź. Marek, son of Andrzej and Elżbieta, is walking in the park with his mother and grandparents Maria and Kazimierz Wysokiński. The boy is playing on the grass with a shovel and a newspaper. Shots of a plane flying through the sky. Marek with his grandparents and mum is spending time at the city lido, together with Elżbieta swinging on a swing and playing with a ball.
