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.

An account of the Polish championships of amateur skiing held on Skrzyczne in Szczyrk probably in 1989. Participants start the descent at the starting booth and descend down the slope in turn. The organizer of the competition was Stefan Marek – a well-known Beskid skier. Maria Stanisławska got the first place in the women’s category and Jadwiga Gołda the second one.
